in thread Can't install a modern Perl from source

Yes, I can recreate this problem at-will (following the same steps I mentioned above) and I don't think a distclean really matters if I'm downloading from source right? Here's my full configure output and my full make output. I'm not really sure what I should be looking for, but I'll keep trying. See anything useful?

    Turns out it was my GREP_OPTIONS environment variable. I had this in my .bashrc 
    export GREP_OPTIONS="--exclude-from ~/.grep_excludes --color"
    Seems some files were accidentally matching my excludes rules and the color was throwing off something else. Removing that fixed everything up (except for a single failure in t/porting/exec-bit.t).
