I've only just subscribed to this list, so I don't know all of the
discussion
(given time, I'll look it up in the archives). But if you have found a
perl
bug, particularly one of configuration, I'm sure the perl developers
would
be grateful if you could report it to the perl5-porters list
(http://lists.perl.org/showlist.cgi?name=perl5-porters)

Or I could report it on your behalf, if you don't want to subscribe and
unsubscribe and all that.

Thank you,

Marcel
