I suggested Perlbrew which I had assumed you used because you wrote:
"I looked at this also. [... various steps you performed ...] My @INC looks a lot better ..."
You don't need "configure and make and make test and make install".
Review the link I provided; you'll see you just need
perlbrew install perl-5.34.0
You can use other versions.
At the time of writing, that webpage has "© 2021":
5.34.0 was released on 2021-May-20; 5.34.1 was released on 2022-Mar-13; 5.36.0 is probably just around the corner
(see perlhist for other release dates if you're interested).
