These are considered harmless, though in some circumstances can make
startup a tiny bit slower (loading and resolving unneeded shared
libraries).

You will have to see what is wrong around line 403 in
.../lib/Config.pm, since it is a constructed file, and will vary
between builds.

You don't provide many details...
Make sure that the "Development Foundation" and "Development
Libraries" CDs are installed. A bare minimum is probably installed
to get as far as you have, but it may not be enough. More details
about the config.sh generated by Perl's Configure and the error
messages might be needed.
Also, which sub-release of IRIX is installed? `uname -aR`.

IRIX IRIS 6.5 6.5.2f 11051211 IP22

Actually, now that I look for it, I can't find a Config.pm anywhere except one
in a previous perl (500404) directory

How do I make sure that these CDs are installed. Is there a way to check, for
instance, via versions command? (I can ask person who installed, but he's gone
for the day.)

Here's the content of my config.sh

# This file was produced by running the Configure script. It holds all the
# definitions figured out by Configure. Should you modify one of these values,
# do not forget to propagate your changes by running "Configure -der". You may
# instead choose to run each of the .SH files by yourself, or "Configure -S".

By the way, I noticed on the freeware.sgi.com site, on the page about
gcc-2.8.1: description and notes, that gcc-2.8.1 "requires the SGI back-end
(assembler and linker) since the GNU back-end (binutils) doesn't yet support
the new SGI ABIs."
Could this be the problem? Do the config.sh (see previous email) and Makefile
(herebelow) help to determine that?
Thanks for any help you can give.
