Perl has been removed from -current, mainly due to the difficulty of
keeping it as up-to-date as people want.  People are sweeping through
port Makefiles replacing ${PERL} with ${REINPLACE} (aka sed), and it
looks like you hit one that they haven't done yet.  You can set
PERL=/usr/bin/perl in /etc/make.conf (or add the symlink), but
eventually you'll want to install the perl port and blow away
/usr/bin/perl and /usr/libdata/perl.
