I find this gloriously insane, and I'm actually rather impressed it works
at all.

Really?  That seems unlikely...  is it actually running?  (I'm inclined to
suggest ps ax...)

All kinds of things could be the problem, and you'll have to verify each
one in turn.  Do you have enough swap?  Is anything else running (note
that depending on your version of WRT, and your amount of RAM, you may
need to shut down a lot of other services to get it to work, or you may
simply not have enough RAM)?  Did you manually install and verify all the
missing perl modules?  Did you properly pivot root?

Did configure.pl actually work?
