The version of the libreadline8 package on bullseye is 8.1-1.

Is there any chance you're conflating the version number of GNU readline
(a C library provided by the bash maintainer, currently version 8.x on
bullseye) with some perl package that has "readline" in its name?  Or
that you simply forgot to install libreadline-dev?

Could you show us the actual error message you get when you try to
build it?

Also, what's wrong with the libterm-readline-gnu-perl package in Debian?
Is it too old or something?

unicorn:~$ apt-cache show libterm-readline-gnu-perl
Package: libterm-readline-gnu-perl
Version: 1.37-1
[...]

unicorn:~$ apt-cache show libreadline-dev
Package: libreadline-dev
Source: readline
Version: 8.1-1
[...]
