Thanks for the info, perl and I don't get along too well yet. With your info and some further searching I should have done first, I have found that this module has a new version 1.09 that specifically mentions the POLLUTE issue being dealt with. It compiles nicely and I now have it installed, thanks again.
PS Just FYI any others reading this, I had to use perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker to get the info on POLLUTE and AFAICT the DEFINE is POLLUTE instead of PERL_POLLUTE. Of course, I could be VERY wrong just what I found.
