Hmm. Most likely that's a bug, though I'm not sure right off where it
is. It's unlikely you really need either of those files but the
generated DESCRIP.MMS tells you that you do so your workaround is as
good as any. I'll investigate further into why those files don't get
installed.

Or should it? The number is probably something derived by trial and
error with some other compiler on some other platform. I would get
rid of it entirely. If the compile doesn't converge, then ideally we
would want to disable the specific form of optimization that is
having difficulty.

I have a feeling one of the empty arguments to WriteMakeFile in the
Makefile.PL is responsible for the extra underscore at the end of the
directory name. I deleted all the stuff from mine that didn't look
necessary and I did not encounter that problem:

WriteMakefile(
'NAME' => 'Clone',
'VERSION_FROM' => 'Clone.pm', # finds $VERSION
- 'LIBS' => [''], # e.g., '-lm'
- 'DEFINE' => '', # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING'
- 'INC' => '', # e.g., '-I/usr/include/other'
-# 'OPTIMIZE' => '-g', # e.g., '-I/usr/include/other'

);
So at least one of your problems is due to the way this particular
extension chooses to do things. Note that it is version 0.13, which
means it is not considered production quality.
There is something wacky about the include files, though, which I
will try to track down. Thanks for the report.
