Can we infer from the "Completed installing" message that perl-5.28.2 did install and that you now have a usable perl?

Can you supply (preferably as an attachment) the output of: 'perl -Ilib -V'?

Did you observe these warnings in the course of the build/installation process?  Or were they only reported in summary form at the end of that process?
