I have seen possibly a similar issue: libxml-parser-perl failing to compile
I tracked it down to two problems:
a) using an sstate mirror results in the rpath that's compiled into the 
native-perl being hardcoded to the full path of whatever built the 
sstate-cache. The means the compiled in rpath is wrong on any other 
machine.

b) perl MakeMaker is using perl.real instead of the wrapper script, this 
results in the PERL5LIB variable not being passed in to perl on 
execution. This in combination with problem A means perl cannot find 
it's libraries.

I would recommend randomising the base directory for autobuilders if 
they are using an sstate mirror, in order to flush out bugs caused by 
problem A.

I cannot figure out how to fix problem B at the moment and I'll be on 
holiday soon. So I thought I'd post about this issue before I go.
