Hi Bodo,


this kind of errors usually happen if tests are running with the wrong 
perl binary. Most likely you use at some point "/usr/bin/perl" or so 
(through a shebang or because it's the first perl in user's PATH or 
explicitly), but the build and tests on the failing smoker system are 
running with a self-compiled perl, possibly even not located in the 
user's PATH.
