This is long. Sorry. I thought it best to give as much information as I could.

I grabbed the 1.5.3 package but it hit a problem pretty much immediately.
Running perl Makefile.PL just stopped. Removing the local-isation of STDOUT
and STDERR from before the call to
($lib) = ExtUtils::Liblist::ext(MM->new(),$LIBS);
allowed me to see this error message:
===

Looks good

I'm using a hand compiled Perl-5.6.1 which I built just last week. Chances
are I'm missing a package which everyone takes for granted, although I do
have ExtUtils::LibList - that comes with the 5.6.1 distribution as standard.
I know my XERCESCROOT is correct, and I'm using precompiled binaries for that
package, so I took the check out of Makefile.PL and pressed on.
I got rid of the DEBIAN definition from the CFLAGS as suggested. There wasn't
a BOOL one. The compile lines looked fairly sensible then.
And they worked, or appeared to. The link line then failed:

Stop.

It turns out that the objects are in the current directory, not the Handler
one. That's reasonable (although unexpected) because the compile lines look,
for example, like this:
===
cc -c -I. -IHandler
-I/afs/ssd/projects/tools/perl/xerces-c1_5_0-AIX43/include -D_REENTRANT -O
-DVERSION=\"1.5.3\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.5.3\"
-I/afs/ssd/projects/tools/perl/perl-5.6.1/lib/5.6.1/aix/CORE
Handler/PerlExceptionHandler.cpp
===
i.e. no -o to define exactly where the output object should go.
I moved the objects to the Handler directory then reran the make. This time
the link blew up with:

Stop.

Excuse the formatting.
At this point I start floundering a bit. :-} I'm not sure what the
LD_RUN_PATH is, but if that's an equivalent of LD_LIBRARY_PATH on Linux, on
AIX that should be LIBPATH. I tried changing it in the link line but got the
same errors.
I do have the xerces library expected:
===
> ls -l /afs/ssd/projects/tools/perl/xerces-c1_5_0-AIX43/lib
total 8462
-rwx------ 1 fountai staff 4331524 Jun 17 01:42 libxerces-c1_5.a
===
And there I ground to a halt. Any advice appreciated.
