lang/perl5.8 fails

[pobox at verysmall.org]

Don't know what's going on, but since 5.8.8_1 
portupgrade lang/perl5.8 fails with -

/usr/local/sbin/apxs: not found
"/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.apache.mk", line 287: 
warning "/usr/local/sbin/apxs -q MPM_NAME" 
returned non-zero status
===> perl-5.8.8_1 : Your apache does not 
support DSO modules.

I have www/apache22 installed.

The strange thing is that 
/usr/local/sbin/apxs exists. 
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl -l shows mod_so.c. 
Also php5 installs and updates without problems.

Any ideas?
