It means there's a minor bug, possibly in your Perl. Its testing that
MakeMaker can identify your prerequisites both whether they exist
(I::Do::Not::Exist is not supposed to exist) and that you have a high enough
version.
It seems the formatting of the message on your perl is a bit off. Could you
please run:
perl -wle 'use strict 99999'
and let me see the output? Also please attach the output of "perl -V". Is
this a perl you compiled yourself?
