Hi Hans,
some general suggestions to help you debug the problem:
$/tools/bin/perl --version
That checks if perl is installed and runnable. If it is not, maybe
$ldd /tools/bin/perl
If perl is working, in /tools/lib/perl5/5.30.3/ you should see
Encode.pm and and Encode/directory with various modules, and
similarly /tools/lib/perl5/5.30.3/Data/Dumper.pm
If those are present you will need to look at config.log and see
what it tested for (a few lines above 'checking Perl version and
modules'.
