What is the output of:

  /router/bin/perl -MConfig -le 'print $Config{version}'

I may only guess that your perl version is so old (10 years old?) that it
can't be used here.

This is a very old stuff (findcmd.pl building FvwmCommand.pm).
Theoretically FvwmCommand.pm may be usable for users wishing to control
fvwm remotely from perl, but this script is broken anyway, there is now
a different mechanism to get the list of all fvwm commands.

Mean time, try either "echo '' >modules/FvwmCommand/findcmd.pl" or
"env PERL=/bin/true ./configure" to solve your problem.
