I know this thread is old, and most probably the topic starter resolved his issue. A few minutes ago I've encountered the same issue trying some module downloaded from CPAN and unpacked locally.
Assume the module has the name
A::B::C and I put all its stuff in the local directory.
The minimal test code is as follows. And, of course, I've got the issue.
perl -MA::B::C -e1
Quickly googling and learning what happens in
AutoLoader.pm around the line mentioned in the error message, I was able to apply the workaround:
mkdir -p auto/A/B/C
echo '1;' > auto/A/B/C/autosplit.ix
After this "patching" the following command works fine:
perl -MA::B::C -e1
