The error is =C2=ABCan't locate version/vpp.pm=C2=BB, that suggests somethi=
ng is
wrong with your version.pm installation. 5.16 ships with a recent
version of version, so it shouldn't need the pure perl version in the
first place. Does =C2=ABperl -Mversion -E 'say version->new(1)'=C2=BB work?

This really sounds like something is wrong with your local setup, but
it could be a number of things.
