Sounds like either (a) you haven't done "use.perl port" (the Unicode
stuff in particular almost certainly needs at least perl 5.6), or (b)
your perl installation is confused.  I had the latter happen during a
mass portupgrade because I had both 5.6 and 5.8 installed; I ended up
nuking both, reinstalling 5.8, "use.perl port", and "portupgrade -f
p5-\*" to make the existing ports sync up before I could install new
Perl ports.
