Hmm. What do you call this:
$ sea descrip.mms/win .xs.c
# --- MakeMaker xs_c section:
.xs.c :
$(XSUBPP) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $(MMS$TARGET_NAME).xs

I'm pretty sure this is an MMS bug. I've never been able to whittle
it down to a really simple reproducer, but removing MMS from the
equation or removing mixed-case filenames from the equation has
always solved the problem. It's probably comparing ".xs" with ".XS"
somewhere, not finding a match, and deciding it doesn't have a rule
to apply.

That makes it explicit, but the impliicit rule should work.

Switch to MMK or force your filenames to be all upper case by unpacking your
archive like so:
$ vmstar -xof perl.tar
where the -o option forces upper case and other ODS-2 compatibilities.
