It would appear that you have a broken perl installation somehow.
Confirm with:
perl -we 'use strict; use Getopt::Long; Getopt::Long::Configure("bundling");'
If it outputs the same error message, your perl is broken somehow. Make
sure you don't have a local perl installation in your PATH. Make sure
that you do have a perl-base: /usr/share/perl/5.6.1/Getopt/Long.pm.
Check that you don't have some ancient version of perl installed; the
current version is a package named just "perl", which is version 5.6.1.
