That sounds like a bug in your perl distribution then - $Config{perlpath}
is not supposed to be empty, relocated or not (on relocatable perl
installs, this value is updated according to the installation path). You
should report this to whoever maintains your perl distribution.

$^X is not portable (and very unreliable). It's up to your perl
distribution to get the configuration right (and not the poor modules that
have to run with broken installations :).

(I wonder which distro it is - both strawberry and activestate perl for
example are relocatable and get this right).
