5.22.0 was released yesterday, so I'd recommend starting there.  I hope to=
 get kits out soonish but I gather you have a reason to build your own fro=
m source so there's no reason to wait for me.

This is odd but the CPAN problem would not have anything to do with buildi=
ng the core, only with installing additional extensions afterwards.  And t=
he problem there was with CPAN has been fixed in 5.22.0.

Please check that you have extended parse enabled in the process, and plea=
se also check that you do not have DECC$EFS_CHARSET explicitly disabled in=
 the process.  This is just guessing.  I've never seen this particular err=
or so I don't know for sure what's going on, but "XSUBPP^.." sure looks li=
ke something went wrong with handling extended characters.
