I'd say that's a build bug in your Perl installation. "define" is pretty
unhelpful: are onlookers supposed to take that as meaning "true" or "false"?

Our configure script is set up to recognize the values "true" and "yes"
for this setting. This is the first I've heard of Perl installations with
other values.

"Exherbo" Linux is a new one on me, but I suggest you pester whoever built
its Perl packages about why they're being so randomly nonstandard.
