I suspect you have an outdated port.  What is the $FreeBSD*$ string in the
comment at the top of the Makefile?  It should be:

# $FreeBSD: ports/audio/squeezecenter/Makefile,v 1.46 2008/06/12 00:56:51 brooks Exp $

This is almost certainly caused be an outdated port.  The JSON::XS
version in ports used to match the one in the ports system.  As a
result, the fact that I'd failed to remove all of the pieces from the
CPAN directory in the distribution didn't hurt.  Once the ports version
was updated that caused things to break.  I suspect that's the problem
here, though it could be something else.
