For recent Perl versions you need to do
perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
instead. The src/pl Makefile would've done it that way for you,
but it looks like that code patch didn't make it to the docs...

Someone needs to update our Perl code so that it will compile cleanly
against both newer and not-so-new Perls. There are notes in our mail
archives about how to do this (basically "use Devel::PPPort" is the
long-term answer) but it hasn't gotten to the top of anyone's to-do
list.
