With some help from Perl Monks found the and fixed the issue:
Quoted from the Perl Monks ticket...
Line 24 of Google/AdWords/Deserializer.pm reads
use SOAP::Lite;
use base qw(SOAP::Deserializer);
The code for the package SOAP::Deserializer is contained in the file
SOAP/Lite.pm. In other words, there is normally no SOAP/
Deserializer.pm file — at least not in the current SOAP::Lite
release. OTOH, base checks if there exists a package variable
$SOAP::Deserializer::VERSION (which doesn't in this case), and if not
tries to load SOAP/Deserializer.pm. This is all fine as long as there
is in fact no such file, as the error "Can't locate SOAP/
Deserializer.pm at..." would silently be ignored by base.
Now, the thing is that you do seem to have such a file (as the error
message indicates), and apparently one which doesn't return a true
value when requireed, which is an error condition that base does not
ignore... Further support for this theory is that if I put an empty
Deserializer.pm file in my SOAP-Lite installation, I can reproduce the
issue:
$ perl -MSOAP::Lite -e'use base qw(SOAP::Deserializer);' SOAP/
Deserializer.pm did not return a true value at (eval 80) line
3. ...propagated at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/base.pm line 93. BEGIN
failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

Anyhow, the short version of all this is that replacing the above line
(in Google/AdWords/Deserializer.pm)
use base qw(SOAP::Deserializer);
with
BEGIN { our @ISA = "SOAP::Deserializer"; }
should also fix the issue...

I have edited the module and I no longer am getting a compilation
error.
