Thanks, Martin. This fixed the NOOP problem but I still needed to hack
the '*** missing separator' problem in lines 90 and 100. The build now
terminates with ...

/bin/sh: -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/sh: -c: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: *** [blib/lib/DBD/ODBC/Changes.pm] Error 2

Does this have anything to do with my hack to lines 90 and 100? I
changed them to ...

installman1=''
sit=''

Is this the problem you are seeing:

There is a mistake in the Makefile.PL. Edit the Makefile.PL and search
for "NOOP" to find the line:

    @$(NOOP)

Replace the spaces in front of "@$(NOOP)" with a <tab> character. Now
rerun perl Makefile.PL.
