I am trying to install perl-Devel-Hints v0-21 on RHEL7. The Perl version is perl-5.16.3-295.el7.x86_64. When 'cpanm' tries to build it, I get the following error:

I have searched high and wide and cannot find out how to fix this. I did find a bug item, but it just says it was fixed in GitHub. Does anyone have a solution for this?
