I am using GNU's Make. I ran truss on "make" at the parent directory level. Am just adding the last section 
    Making B (dynamic)
Inside B::Makefile.PL
before WriteMakefile call
wait()                          (sleeping...)

I ran truss from within the B directory and here's the output. It's pretty big, so am adding some sections that i think are relevant. Please let me know if you need other sections and i will provide them. It looks like it is trying to find Util.pm file Then i find it is doing lstat calls on pretty much the entire filesystem. And some of the directories are NFS mounted, and goes to sleep on one such directory.

I was under the impression that /local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris/ was the path where perl would install these *.pm files for the actual perl that i build. Am i making myself clear?! Could someone explain what's happening here?!!

I am not sure what information you need , but here's some that i thought you would need. @INC for miniperl 

./miniperl "-I./lib" -e 'print "@INC\n"'
./lib /local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/sun4-solaris /local/lib/perl5/5.8.7 /loca
+l/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/sun4-solaris /local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5
+.8.7 /local/lib/perl5/site_perl .

Here's where i have Util.pm 

/local/src/perl-5.8.7/ext/List/Util/lib/List/Util.pm
/local/src/perl-5.8.7/ext/List/Util/lib/Scalar/Util.pm
/local/src/perl-5.8.7/lib/CGI/Util.pm
/local/src/perl-5.8.7/lib/Hash/Util.pm
