Yay, I "dared" to look in configure, and found:

# we need some subversion tools if this is a working copy
# test to see if this is a working copy
# if it's not a wc, use the included version.h
if test -d .svn; then
  # check for commandline tools to create version.h
  # Extract the first word of "svnwcrev", so it can be a program name with
args.
<snip...>

then I remembered I had done:
svn export http://svn.pumacode.org/repos/vss2svn/trunk/ vss2svn
instead of:
svn checkout http://svn.pumacode.org/repos/vss2svn/trunk/ vss2svn
through some sort of obsessive compulsive desire not to have unnecessary
working copies :(

Bingo! Rerunning everything now gets me as far as (again, sudo was needed):

ubu...@ubuntu:~/vss2svn$ sudo ./Build install
/usr/bin/perl ssphys/ssphys.PL bin/ssphys
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.

However, I now get:

ubu...@ubuntu:~/vss2svn$ perl /usr/local/bin/vss2svn.pl --help

ubu...@ubuntu:~/vss2svn$

Must have missed that Text::Glob didn't install. But if I try to install
again I get:

ubu...@ubuntu:~$ perl -MCPAN -e "install Text::Glob"
Can't locate object method "install" via package "Text::Glob" at -e line 1.
ubu...@ubuntu:~$

I'm fumbling in the dark yet again, but the CPAN faq suggests perl -MCPAN -e
"install Text::Glob" is the right syntax to install just that one package.

Any ideas? Big thanks for helping so much so far : )
