If you used the <option>--with-perl</option> option to configure, check

If you've followed our advice to make the Postgres files be owned by
an unprivileged userid, then the Perl module won't have been installed,
for lack of write privileges on the Perl library directories. You can
complete its installation, either now or later, by becoming the user that
does own the Perl library (often root) (via <command>su</command>) and doing
