Yes, I've seen that fail, too. Simple solution:
# echo '#!/bin/sh' > /usr/sbin/install-info
# echo '/bin/true' >> /usr/sbin/install-info
# chmod +x /usr/sbin/install-info

I don't know a "real" solution right now (instead of fixing Perl or it's
compiler), but if you don't depent on the info system to work properly,
I'd just shoot this one down...
