I have tried installing perl 5.24.0 on an old PPC machine, with the

I don’t know exactly which option is responsible for the bug, but I do
find it really strange.
I think it's caused by the hints on darwin, from hints/darwin.sh:
case "$prefix" in
...
'/usr') # We are building/replacing the built-in perl
prefix='/';
installprefix='/'; # used to set installbin
bin='/usr/bin';
siteprefix='/usr/local';
...
That said, replacing your system perl is probably dangerous (OS X 10.11 doesn't allow it AFAIK.)
