So's the VMS guy... that'd be me.  I complained long and hard about it
and was overrulled.  Anyway, enough politics...

I hadn't seen this sort of conflict before -- for our "problem" we usually
list SYS$LIBRARY as an /INCLUDE directive.  If I want to write "real" code
I've not had this problem.

I admit to being ignorant on the Perl build procedure -- does it list
SYS$LIBRARY and/or POSIX$INCLUDE as /INCLUDE directories?
