So these are my complete notes for those who may want to follow down this path.
If your intent was to provide a textbook example of what *not* to do, you've succeeded. What you've posted here is quite possibly the most difficult, convoluted example of installing a Perl module I've seen here yet. It's little wonder it took days.
As I've said here many times, you do *NOT* need to edit the generated Makefile, and you do *NOT* need to edit any .c or .h files. All you need to do is generate the Makefile correctly in the first place, by using the --cflags and --libs options when you run Makefile.PL.
