when trying to run some perl program (Interchange to be precise), I get
the following error:

The system is a fresh install of 4.9-RELEASE. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Hi guys,
can anybody please send a file to me or give a link where I can download

I'm trying to run Mozilla and all worked well except java support, because
the compiling of jdk13 didn't work due to some weird errors, and
of the
native JDK and specify WITH_LINUX_BOOTSTRAP=yes.
Once I had done that all worked fine.
