In the above message, you wrote:

OK.

The last line above indicates that your perl utility was compiled using
the GNU C compiler.  The fact that an executing perl program can't find
the "__eprintf" function of the GNU C runtime indicates a problem with
the GNU C installation---probably a new version of GNU C was installed
since the perl utility was last built.  If so, then the perl utility
would need to be reinstalled in order to fix this problem.

If you can live without the perl extension module for UDUNITS (as you've
said) then wouldn't bother trying to upgrade your perl.
