Can we infer from the "Completed installing" message that perl-5.28.2 did install and that you now have a usable perl?

Can you supply (preferably as an attachment) the output of​: 'perl -Ilib -V'?

Did you observe these warnings in the course of the build/installation process? Or were they only reported in summary form at the end of that process?

Line 6064 in the perl 5.28.2 perl.h is a blank line.

You appear to be building a modified perl, please either provide more information or report it to whoever provided the modifications.

Thanks,

Hi!

Can we infer from the "Completed installing" message that perl-5.28.2 did install and that you now have a usable perl?

this is correct. Perl is working fine here.

Can you supply (preferably as an attachment) the output of​: 'perl -Ilib -V'?

See attachment.

Did you observe these warnings in the course of the build/installation process? Or were they only reported in summary form at the end of that process?

They were reported at the end of the process. This QA warnings are a part of Gentoo Linux, to check packages. I only did, as the package said, reporting directly to upstream.
