Maybe because $s is not a valid test statement, when $f=$s , since it's
only the name of the perl extension.

What you could do is (very loose syntax):
- ----------------
do_compile=0
if  "$f" = "$s"
  do_compile=1
else
  if `eval test $s`
    do_compile=1
  fi
fi

if $do_compile = 1
  ; compile
fi
- ----------------

It looks a bit cleaner and is easier to understand.
