Perl5.8 Won't Build

Hey All,

    Trying to build Perl5.8 and keep getting error messages. This is a 
new installation under 7.1Release. Already did a make clean and 
portsnap. Any ideas appreciated. Here is the ouput.

.....snip.......
Extracting Policy.sh (with variable substitutions)
Extracting utils/Makefile (with variable substitutions)
Extracting writemain (with variable substitutions)
Extracting x2p/cflags (with variable substitutions)
Extracting x2p/Makefile (with variable substitutions)
Configure done.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

===>  Building for perl-5.8.9
make: cannot open makefile.
*** Error code 2

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8.
