Edit Makefile.PL, go to line 61, and change

         \@\$(PERLRUN) \\

to

         \@\$(PERL) \\

Fortunately, most of my development anymore is done on Debian unstable 
running on PowerPC systems, so I don't have Perl 5.6. This is something 
that Perl 5.6 requires. I eventually intend to reorganize the module 
structure so that that kind of hack isn't necessary any longer, but 
until then, it works (for the most part).
