You're right, my fault. I forgot to log in as lfs user before run those
commands.
The correct output is:
type -pa perl
/tools/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl
---
perl -e "use 5.007_003; use Encode;" ; echo $?
Can't locate Encode.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Encode module)
(@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18.2/i686-linux
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18.2
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.18.2/i686-linux /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.18.2 .) at -e
line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

---
perl --version | grep version
This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 2 (v5.18.2) built for i686-linux
Additionally, this is the output of the env command, when I'm logged in as
lfs user:
TERM=xterm
LC_ALL=POSIX
LFS=/mnt/lfs
PATH=/tools/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
PWD=/home/lfs
LFS_TGT=i686-lfs-linux-gnu
PS1=${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[01;34m\]
\w \$\[\033[00m\]
SHLVL=1
HOME=/home/lfs
_=/tools/bin/env
and if I list the content of the directory /tools/lib/perl5/5.18.2/ I can
see that there is a directory called Encode and a file called Encode.pm.
I tried once again to build perl (deleting and extracting again the
sources) to be sure, but the configure command for Texinfo still fail.
One thing I forgot to mention, and that might cause the problem, is that
the host system I'm using is a remote computer in my LAN, and I'm logging
in through SSH to perform the steps from a windows machine (I'm using
PuTTY). Don't know if this can be a problem.
I always login in the system as a regular user and then issue the command
su - lfs
to switch to the lfs user, as mentioned in section 4.3

I didn't reach chapter 6 yet, but thanks for the advice.
