Have you checked which version of the lib-readline modules you have?
(This library is external to perl)

I suggest trying the following:

apt-get install libterm-readline-gnu-perl

If this doesnt work, I suggest posting to one of the Perl mailing lists 
or forums, such as http://perlmonks.org

Hope this helps,
