  Why?  3.0.21 has been out for a year.

  Please use the packages available at http://networkradius.com

  OK.

  If you get that error on the default install, then someone (not us) broke the packages you're using.

  Use 3.0.21, and/or the packages from http://networkradius.com

  That won't change an error in an unrelated file.

  What do you want to do with the Perl module?

  And if the server doesn't start due to an error in /etc/raddb/policy.d/accounting, then it's impossible to test the changes you made to enable Perl.
