Did you run the perl-after-upgrade script with the '-f' flag so it
actually does anything?  This symptom occurs when the pkg system
thinks a package is installed (because there's an entry in
/var/db/pkgs) but perl can't find the corresponding module, because
it's in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.X with X != 8.

Forcing a reinstall of p5-Test-Harness would also work.

	Cheers,
