It might mean something is wrong with unpacking.
For reference all files shipped with the .tgz file are
listed using unixy/style/paths in the file called
MANIFEST.  In particular I have
byte_t.h in the [.PERL-5_8_1-RC3.EXT.ENCODE.BYTE]
directory.  What tar command are you using to
unpack the source code?  Do you notice any problems
if you run:

   @configure

interactively?
