Obvious thing when looking at define.pm is that it uses this sequence (see https://metacpan.org/source/GGUREVICH/define-1.02/lib/define.pm) use strict; [...] require Carp; Carp::croak "..."; Note, that there is no "use Carp" anywhere. This construct was never legal except at time when somebody else was loading Carp. It was always illegal to use a not exisiting function without parens. It was legal to use an existing function without parens. So clearly somebody in that neighborhood was loading Carp.pm in 2004. Nowadays this code does not work anymore and if one only tried to load definde.pm one gets: String found where operator expected at /home/sand/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.12.5/a2da/lib/site_perl/5.12.5/define.pm line 33, near "Carp::croak "Must call 'use define' with parameters"" (Do you need to predeclare Carp::croak?) This does not yet explain everything. I'm just stating the obvious.

Abstracting away the 'use Carp' issue, it seems that bleadperl v5.19.2-138-g137da2b adds the next problem for define.pm. http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=119047 has more about that commit.
