If you wish to add Perl modules what I recommend is to bring in the necessary tools, namely the <code>perl</code> package and the <code>perl-modules</code> package. You can do that by adding the repositories that supply modules to the SDK. Of course you can build Perl yourself, but it is already built for the device's architecture and it is in a known good state, so it is much easier to just take the already built Perl binaries for the N900. (There are later versions of Perl built and packaged for the device, I'll eventually provide links to those, until then, you'll have to rely on Google.)
