I did some additional digging and carved out the Perl detection section of
config into its own script and it was able to find the installed version
properly. I then place few "echo" statements in the original script and found
the "Can't open" error occurs on line 862:
if "$i/perl$EXE" -e 'exit($]<5.0)'; then
Since this line works when I run the Perl portion on its own (lines 849 to 874)
is it possible that /dev/null is being set to an unusable state by something
earlier in the script? Please forgive it this sounds foolish but I have not
seen this behavior before and I'm grasping at straws.
Thanks in advance

Just a guess, but "Can't open /dev/null: No such file or directory" could be
causing utter confusion. That sounds like a pretty screwed-up system. v5.8.8 is
fine for the perl, assuming it's on your path.
