Did you pay attention to the make output?  Most likely it didn't build
plperl because it couldn't find a shared library for libperl.

libperl.so isn't built by default in any perl release that I know of;
you have to do a manual configure/build of the Perl sources and
explicitly ask for a shared library to be built during Perl's
interactive configure script.  It's a real pain in the neck :-(
