The simplest incantation is (taken from the top of the INSTALL file)
sh Configure -de
make
make test
It would be most useful to proceed this way -- i.e. remove perlbrew
and SUSE's rpm packaging from the mix. This will help others
reproduce it more readily and also help localize the problem.

I appreciate that perlbrew is freely available and the suse's perl
builds are also freely available. I have also not used either, and
would prefer to use my time trying to solve your problem, not learning
two new build systems and not trying to sort out whatever patches they
may or may not apply.
It is easy to add in options to the recipe above. From the 'myconfig'
output on [perl #113720], looking cat config_args, I can deduce that
Configure was called like this:
sh Configure -ds -e -Dprefix=/usr -Dvendorprefix=/usr \
-Dinstallusrbinperl -Dusethreads -Di_db -Di_dbm -Di_ndbm \
-Di_gdbm -Dd_dbm_open -Duseshrplib=true \
-Doptimize='-fmessage-length=0 -O2 -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fstack-protector -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -g -Wall -pipe -Accflags=-DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV' \
-Dotherlibdirs=/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl

Yes, which I'm happy to look at. It will just be easier to debug if
there are fewer extraneous bits of software involved.
