Your thread has moved on from you asking for help building your own perl to installing another application. You should have read the prerequisites of the application, it needs perl to be compiled with threads. If you've copied what I gave you, this won't happen as stated in the perl INSTALL file:

"On some platforms, perl can be compiled with support for threads. To enable this, run

sh Configure -Dusethreads

The default is to compile without thread support."

You can't add this later on, it has to be done at compile time. So to go back to my inital advice and update it for an installation using threads:

./Configure -des -Dusethreads -Dprefix=$HOME/Your/other/path/here
make test
make install

The lesson here is to read the documentation of the product you are trying to install, and the tools you need to compile to use to product. Also, you could do some seaching to find out why problems happen ;)

Update: fixed closing code tag, reworded opening line.
