If you tested it in a VM, then you would have seen that Perl is in the

Using this file:
http://fastly.cdn.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.2/amd64/install62.iso
If you extract one of the files will be:
6.2/amd64/base62.tgz
then if you extract that file, one of the files will be:
usr/bin/perl
so yes, you are right. the trouble is that Perl is not available in the "live"
environment. When you first load, you get this:
Welcome to the OpenBSD/amd64 6.2 installation program.
(I)nstall, (U)pgrade, (A)utoinstall or (S)hell? s
# type perl
perl not found
alternatively, if you do run the installer, then "Remove disk from virtual
drive, then "reboot", it does work:
# type perl
perl is /usr/bin/perl
So only the "installed" environment has Perl.
