If you think that "dmake" is source of trouble, then we can add
workaround in Makefile.PL  to handle your case.

You can add a code that checks these vars $? and $! differently

fortunately, our Makefile.PL already has a stub to deal with dmake,
so you can benefit from it.

Fortunately I haven't encountered an issue with dmake specifically. I was checking to see if the past few commits of Tcl.pm would compile, and found the one from a few weeks ago when there were some suspicions over dmake causing compilation issues. The "dmake prohibited" message seemed to confuse ActivePerl for "modified" Strawberry Perl installation due to presence of dmake/lack of GNU make. But that message has since been reverted since the problem (if there is one) is believed to be elsewhere.
