I think you have to rebuild Perl, configuring with -"Dusecasesensitive" or 
go through the configuration questions and answer yes when it asks you if 
you want to build with case sensitive symbols.  You can find out what you've 
currently got with:

$ perl -"MConfig" -e "print $Config{usecasesensitive};"
N

On the shortening issue you may just have to find the offenders and shorten 
them yourself with a #define because otherwise MakeMaker will come up with 
its own short names that won't match the compiler's.

This is all somewhat speculative on my part since I've never done what 
you're trying to do.
