That error is caused by the nasty difficulty of providing an openpkg-tool
that is fully self-contained and that must only rely on the bootstrap
files.
If we had made openpkg-tool dependend on perl (and perl-db for the -C option
of the index part) it wouldn't be possible to install these using the
tool even when most systems already provide a suitable perl version.
So we chose to drop the dependencies to make life simpler in most
situations.
To solve your problem: avoid the -C option until you have installed
the perl-db package (or the DB_File module if you do not have the perl
package installed and openpkg-tool finds a system-provided perl).
I have added a word about this issue to the man page. openpkg index
will also show now a less confusing error message if DB_File is required
but not installed.
