You don't need perl unless you want to retrieve stock prices or currency exchange rates. It doesn't have anything to do with anything else.
The next two errors are unusual, but they also relate to setting up online quote retrieval and don't have anything to do with the report failing. Was there anything more in the log after the gnc:call-with-error-handling line?
