Yes, I built it manually and make/make install went fine. Thanks very much! My Makefile.PL for reference:

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

WriteMakefile(
                                  NAME => 'PDL::IO::Grib',
                                  EXE_FILES => ['GribView.pl'],
                                  VERSION_FROM => 'Grib.pm',
                                  DIR => ['Grib'],
                                  dist => {COMPRESS => 'gzip', SUFFIX=
+> 'gz'}
);
