The problem exists within the included perl distribution being compiled with the wrong paths!

Full error (with additional line breaks):

Can't locate Getopt/Long.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Getopt::Long module) (
  @INC contains:
     /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin/europa
     /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/sopc_builder/bin

  ) at /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/../ip/altera/sopc_builder_ip/altera_avalon_pio/generate_rtl.pl line 18.

It seems like the perl distribution points to the wrong directory because the library is located at /opt/altera/19.1/quartus/linux64/perl/lib/5.28.1/Getopt/Long.pm

I've found a bunch references in the perl distribution pointing to the wrong directory ( https://pastebin.com/wfUKcSjq )

A "fix" seems to be to link to the system perl executeable: http://www.armadeus.org/wiki/index.php?title=Quartus_installation_on_Linux#Perl_Getopt::Long
