Looks OK to me, just some nits regarding DESCR:

I would put these lines at the end of DESCR, not on top:

call:   geteltorito CD-image > toritoimagefile
example:geteltorito /dev/sr0  > /tmp/bootimage

And change /dev/sr0 to a device that can be used on OpenBSD.

I suggest to rephrase:

The perl-script will extract ...

to this:

geteltorito will extract ...
