If any directory in leading up to your tmp directory has the name "t" perl will fail to build with a very cryptic error shown below:
pod/buildtoc: no pods at pod/buildtoc line 305. make[1]: *** [pod/perltoc.pod] Error 255 This is a result of the perl file checking making an assumption that it is only looking at files and directories with in the perl source directory. This assumption fails with the way bitbake sets up perl to properly cross compile.
