Can anyone shed light on if this is really a perl bug as opposed to a PDL bug?

I reported this bug first to the PDL mailing list, and here is the answer I got:
========================================================
This is a well-known bug in ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.30, which is included in perl 5.8.8:

Here's two potential sed's to accomplish the same thing:
sed -i "s/'PERLRUN'/'PERLRUNINST'/" lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm
sed -i -e "s/my \$perlrun/& = 'PERLRUN'/" \
-e '/^\s*\$perlrun/d' lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm

Hugo, the first sed mimics the bug report fix listed in your link. Could you try that and see if it works?

The patch to MM_Unix.pm will indeed allow PDL to build. However, I could not get an answer from the MakeMaker folks saying that MM_Unix.pm was actually flawed. PDL has since fixed this issue in their CVS repo so this is now a BLFS issue. Closing as invalid.
