On my system:

# objdump -x /usr/pkg/bin/perl | grep NEEDED                
  NEEDED               libperl.so
  NEEDED               libm.so.2
  NEEDED               libc.so.3
  NEEDED               libsocket.so.3
# readelf -d /usr/pkg/bin/perl | grep RPATH                 
 0x0000000f (RPATH)                      Library rpath: [/usr/pkg/lib:/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.10.0/x86pc-nto/CORE]

rpath overrides LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  The root of your problem
is probably that you should use 'pkg_add' rather than 'tar'
to add packages so they're installed in the same prefix as
they were built (usually /usr/pkg).

Or you can usr 6.4.1+ which ships with ssh and friends.
