Perl is not mentioned in the compilation flags. I suspect the perl-dev package is or was missing when you ran make, maybe?

Looking over at my debian setup the package name is libperl-dev. Maybe try looking for that? I'm not sure of your distro but these packages can have different names from disto to distro.

It's the -dev package that's needed for binkd to build with perl support.

Make sure that is installed and then re-run "./configure --with-perl" and any other options needed and run make again.
