Sorry, but you'll need to check with the Perl folks about this. It seems like the makefile that Perl is generating from Makefile.PL isn't correctly formatted.
The only suggestion I can give, from a make standpoint, is to try a newer version of GNU make. 3.77 is pretty old; the latest version is GNU make 3.79.1. The error you're getting is at line 827 of your makefile, which is here: # --- MakeMaker pm_to_blib section: pm_to_blib: $(TO_INST_PM) @$(PERL) "-I$(INST_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(INST_LIB)" \ "-I$(PERL_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(PERL_LIB)" -MExtUtils::Install \ -e "pm_to_blib(qw[ <<pmfiles.dat ],'$(INST_LIB)\auto','$(PM_FILTER)')" $(PM_TO_BLIB) << @$(TOUCH) $@ That's simply illegal make syntax, so Perl is building an improper Makefile from Makefile.PL.
