Line 24 of Google/AdWords/Deserializer.pm reads 

use SOAP::Lite;
use base qw(SOAP::Deserializer);

[download]

The code for the package SOAP::Deserializer is contained in the file SOAP/Lite.pm.  In other words, there is normally no SOAP/Deserializer.pm file — at least not in the current SOAP::Lite release.  OTOH, base checks if there exists a package variable $SOAP::Deserializer::VERSION (which doesn't in this case), and if not tries to load SOAP/Deserializer.pm. This is all fine as long as there is in fact no such file, as the error "Can't locate SOAP/Deserializer.pm at..." would silently be ignored by base.

Now, the thing is that you do seem to have such a file (as the error message indicates), and apparently one which doesn't return a true value when required, which is an error condition that base does not ignore...   Further support for this theory is that if I put an empty Deserializer.pm file in my SOAP-Lite installation, I can reproduce the issue: 

$ perl -MSOAP::Lite -e'use base qw(SOAP::Deserializer);'
SOAP/Deserializer.pm did not return a true value at (eval 80) line 3.
        ...propagated at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.1/base.pm line 93.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at -e line 1.

So, check if you maybe also have such a stray Deserializer.pm file...


Anyhow, the short version of all this is that replacing the above line (in Google/AdWords/Deserializer.pm) 

use base qw(SOAP::Deserializer);

with 

BEGIN { our @ISA = "SOAP::Deserializer"; }

should also fix the issue...
