it becomes the responsibility of of modules like ExeUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build etc. to produce highly ambidextrous makefiles.

One of the major plus points of Module::Build is that it gets rid of all that tedious mucking about with makefiles. It's all lovely cross-platform pure perl :-)

As programmers, we tend to see the benefits of using databases for the storage of all manner of data. Why not our own, in the form of source code?

I store my source code in subversion. Would an SCM be a more useful thing to think about rather than the more general "database"?
