When doing the following:

export COLUMNS=0; eb Perl-5.30.2-GCCcore-9.3.0.eb

Perl's Configure script dies with:

THIS PACKAGE SEEMS TO BE INCOMPLETE.

because ls produces a warning:

ls: ignoring invalid width in environment variable COLUMNS: 0

I'm not sure why or how $COLUMNS got set to zero (I wasn't doing that myself), but simply undefining it when that's the case fixes the issue...
