You need to run

    # use.perl port

again.  What's happening is that your /etc/make.conf file still
contains the PERL_VERSION as 5.8.0, which causes any perl modules to
be installed into a directory outside the usual @INC path.  Plus if
fixes up some other locations where the perl version is referenced.

Running perl -e 'print join( "\n", @INC ), "\n";' should return a list
of directories with the version string 5.8.1 in them:

    % perl -e 'print join( "\n", @INC ), "\n";'
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1/mach
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.1
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/BSDPAN
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1/mach
    /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.1
    .

	Cheers,

	Matthew
