Is this the module you asked about earlier that I had a quick look at?  I'd
say that basically it can't be cross-compiled easily - or with moderate
effort - because of various pieces of crazy in the way it builds.

My recommendation is to either find or become a Perl build system expert
and entirely rewrite the build to use something modern and sane, instead of
something archaic, hand-coded and crazy.
