Bizarre!  I don't see anything in the above that would make a
difference.

I'd really like to help you but I don't know all that much about perl.
You'd be better off posting this question to a perl mailing-list or
newsgroup.

Having said that, I suspect that the perl installation on the first
system was built assuming /opt/perl as the installation directory.  When
you copied the files over, you also copied that assumption.

I could be that extension modules can't be built for perl packages that
weren't installed from source.
