You seem to be running the daemon with --debug no?  What surprises me is
that the above is not an error message but a debugging message.  The
actual error seems to be elsewhere.

If you can run the daemon as root, then do run it as root, but without
--disable-chroot; as the manual states, --disable-chroot is a last
resort, and it’s only needed if you cannot run the daemon as root.

In the case of Perl, I wouldn’t be surprised if its Configure script
looks at stuff from the host distro in /usr/lib and so on, which can
lead to a failure down the path.
