In versions since 1.010, on the latest updated Debian Squeeze (Perl 5.10.1), 'make' eventually borks with: Manifying blib/man1/parldyn.1p Modification of non-creatable array value attempted, subscript -1 at /usr/share/perl/5.10/Pod/Man.pm line 268. make: *** [manifypods] Error 255 To fix in at least 1.013, in myldr/Makefile.PL, replace "MAN3PODS => {}," with "MAN1PODS => {}," in WriteMakefile(). I've attached the patch. Prior to 1.010 (or at least in version 1.009), parl and parldyn come pre-compiled with the source, so make doesn't try to run that bit here, which is why you don't see this error when 'make'ing in 1.009 until after you've done a 'make clean'.
