@Corion Thanks very much for the reply.

Now what is the easiest way to fix this?

Can anyone see a problem with simply taking this list of all the installed perl modules and running apt reinstall list-of-modules

You mentioned "XS" -- does that have any connection to xs in the module names (in my list)? Would just reinstalling those fix the issue?

What about perlbrew? I have perlbrew installed.

Do perlbrew config files contain any important data that needs to be preserved? (Other than a list of installed modules?)

How can I compile a list of any modules that are installed in perlbrew?

It seems to me that this should be a mechanical process to recreate a fresh installation, or am I missing something?

Thanks again for the assist!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
