I asked a question regarding configure does not generate makefile while building perl from source. While awaiting for a solution, here is another (possibly relevant) question. When I install perl modules for the system perl via something like sudo cpanm Try::Tiny it fails with following log:
cpanm (App::cpanminus) 1.7040 on perl 5.018002 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

It seems the module Try::Tiny is not installed successfully since make didn't spit out any log message and the test couldn't locate the module in @INC. I am on Ubuntu 14.04 (kernel 3.13.0-24-generic), and using apt-get install for module installation is ok. The output from perl -V is:

It seems the system perl was built against a different kernel version 3.13.0-79-generic. Could this be the problem? Plz help! Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks.
