On CentOS Stream 9, the configuration aborts right away: checking Perl version and modules... no configure: error: perl >= 5.8.1 with Encode, Data::Dumper and Unicode::Normalize required by Texinfo.
This is an improvement, compared to my previous report https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-texinfo/2023-09/msg00041.html . After executing the command $ sudo dnf install perl-Encode perl-Data-Dumper perl-Unicode-Normalize the build works fine and all tests pass. Bruno
