perl.mak is auto-generated by one of two methods in perl/Makefile. This
patch modifies the 'NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER' section. Currently 'make all', when
NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER is set, does nothing, and looks like:

  $ cat perl.mak
  all:
	:
  install:
	mkdir -p ...

With this patch it looks like:

  $ cat perl.mak
  all: private-Error.pm Git.pm
          mkdir -p blib/lib
          rm -f blib/lib/Git.pm; cp Git.pm blib/lib/
          rm -f blib/lib/Error.pm;  cp private-Error.pm blib/lib/Error.pm
  install:
          mkdir -p ...
