Right - "perl Makefile.PL" is standard when installing individual Perl
modules, but not when building perl itself. The above steps should do
the trick by themselves.
Note that I never changed "-Dldflags=" to "-Uldflags=" in my build. I
figured I'd just ignore the error message, since that arg seemed to work
for Matthias (or whoever builds the official Apple bundled version). What
happens if you just leave that arg out altogether?

Yeah, sounds like it didn't get all the way through the Configure step.
Which of your files called "whatever.SH" have corresponding "whatever"
files? They all should, in a successful build (except that Makefile.SH
should create GNUmakefile, not Makefile).
