That did the trick. MakeMaker still remains "not quite perfect", but the
fix is easy. 2.31 compiled fine, testing to begin shortly.
The module in Craig's distro apparently is an exact copy of the 2.30
version from CPAN, it has the exact same problems.

Hmm. There is all sorts of stuff in MakeMaker (the package that
generates the descrip.mms) that is supposed to attend to line
lengths. Obviously it's not quite perfect.

But that's as good a workaround as any.

It looks like that may be fixed in version 2.31, which also claims to
have changes required for Perl 5.8.0. You might see if you fare any
better with that:

Well, if it doesn't build, then "fine" may not be quite the word
beginning with f that one would want to use. What sort of trouble
were you having?
