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.
