perlbrew install issue -- Can't call method "basename"

[varneraa]

I'm using perlbrew to build standalone tool repositories that contain their own perl version and libraries due to a strict compute environment. (I am unable to install perlbrew in my home directory, due to size quotas)

Sometime in the last few months I've been unable to have perlbrew install hitting the 'Can't call method "basename"' I'll show in a log below.

Here is the bash script I have that installs perl for me. I've used this for a few years now and it worked up until early last year, but over the last couple of months it has failed with this issue.

Here is first half of the shell script I use for bulding my initial repo. It sets up proxies, downloads perlbrew and a perl version, then installs the perl version using perlbrew to the path. I maintain I template of the repo that I copy and rename to start a new project.

That refers to this subroutine:

  sub do_install_archive {
      require File::Basename;
  
      my $self = shift;
      my $dist_tarball_path = shift;
      my $dist_version;
      my $installation_name;
  
      if ($dist_tarball_path->basename =~ m{(c?perl)-?(5.+)\.tar\.(gz|bz2|xz)\Z}) {
          my $perl_variant = $1;
          $dist_version = $2;
          $installation_name = "${perl_variant}-${dist_version}";
      }
  
      unless ($dist_version && $installation_name) {
          die "Unable to determine perl version from archive filename.\n\nThe archive name should look like perl-5.x.y.tar.gz or perl-5.x.y.tar.bz2 or perl-5.x.y.tar.xz\n";
      }
  
      my $dist_extracted_path = $self->do_extract_tarball($dist_tarball_path);
      $self->do_install_this($dist_extracted_path, $dist_version, $installation_name);
      return;
  }

Specifically the if ( $dist_tarball_path->basename =~ ... ) line:

 if ($dist_tarball_path->basename =~ m{(c?perl)-?(5.+)\.tar\.(gz|bz2|xz)\Z}) {

I'll dig around to see if I can find an older copy of the perlbrew and run with it.
