In general building and using a Guix package is preferable.  :-)

> (define-module (gnu packages perl)

You cannot call your module this way.  If you do, it will shadow the
=E2=80=9Creal=E2=80=9D (gnu packages perl), which provides the variable =E2=
=80=98perl=E2=80=99 for the
Perl package.

Also, you need to add =E2=80=98perl-term-readline-gnu=E2=80=99 at the end o=
f the file so
that it actually returns the package you=E2=80=99ve defined, which will then
allow =E2=80=9Cguix package -p perl-term-readline-gnu.scm=E2=80=9D to work.

HTH!

Ludo=E2=80=99.
