Do you have any idea what might be wrong?

I'm guessing from your post, that your Perl installs come from the distribution's package management system? If so, build Perl from scratch on your system, and I'll bet things fix themselves. I guess that the standard Perl they distribute got mis-aligned with their other libraries, so just build your own from the source code. It is very easy and illuminating to see how a Perl build goes. Maybe report it as a bug to the distros.
