Texinfo imports that file from Gnulib. It looks like it hasn't been
updated in quite some time, though:
$ find . -name 'gendocs*' | xargs git log

Try to fix contrib/perldoc-all.
* contrib/perldoc-all/gendocs-sh: Add, from gendocs.sh in gnulib
project.
* contrib/perldoc-all/Makefile.am: Access it instead of relying
on gendocs.sh being in path. Do not remove *.?? (intending to
remove auxiliary index files) as this may delete the *.tar.gz
file the user has just downloaded.
