Do you have a C compiler?  Scalar::Util cannot build weaken without it.
I have a debian box where the broken Scalar::Util was installed but
cpan was able to install a new version that did work.

Installing /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/List/Util/Util.bs
Installing /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/auto/List/Util/Util.so
Files found in blib/arch: installing files in blib/lib into  
architecture dependent library tree
Installing /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/List/Util.pm
Installing /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8/Scalar/Util.pm
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/List::Util.3pm
Installing /usr/local/man/man3/Scalar::Util.3pm

If you don't see Util.so, it didn't build properly.

You don't need to rebuild perl, just Scalar::Util.

Unfortunately, Scalar::Util being broken seems to be a common distro  
problem these days.
When rt3.6.4 is released, it will check for Scalar::Util::weaken  
during startup.
