I don’t understand what the problem is.  Your description isn’t very
clear.  If you cannot post a minimal example it is virtually impossible
for us to help.

I’d also like to suggest asking questions on guile-user when you have
questions about Guile.

If you have a file “core/lang-perl/perl.scm” and the module is called
“(core lang-perl perl)” then you should not have “core” itself on
GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH but its parent directory.
