The perl package is official one. I found the cause, that's my
mistake.
The problematic command line boils down to:
$ ./configure --with-perl CFLAGS=-O0
It is bash-aliased and survived without being found for a long time on
my Cent7 environment, but CentOS8 doesn't allow that.
By the way, is there any official way to specify options like -O0
while configure time?
regards.
