 I'll give the hacks.mk a try.
 
 For this error:
 
 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /mnt/disk1/pkgsrc/lang/perl5/work/perl-5.20.1/dist/ExtUtils-Command/lib/ExtUtils/Command.pm line 3.
  Compilation failed in require.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
 
 I found that the line
 
   use 5.00503;
 
 was causing problems, so commenting it out allowed the compilation to
 continue.  I think there were 3 other files that had the same problem,
 at least during my compilation.
 
 Thanks
