There is a problem with the installation of the xsubpp program from Perl 
versions before about 5.8.4: if you look at the first line it 
says "#!./miniperl" — the miniperl interpreter is part of the Perl build 
system which is not installed, but xsubpp can also be run by the regular Perl 
interpreter.  Newer Perl versions insert the following 3-line prologue (or 
its equivalent) at the top of the file when they install xsubpp:

#!/usr/bin/perl
    eval 'exec /usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'
        if $running_under_some_shell;

I suspect if you add the above to your xsubpp, the build will complete 
properly.
