Hmmm, I'm usually quite good at finding strings in a text file ...
The output I get has neither 'perl Makefile.PL' nor 'dmake test' in it.
The only mention of Makefiles are right at the beginning:

CPAN: CPAN::SQLite loaded ok (v0.199)
Running install for module 'Tk'
Running make for S/SR/SREZIC/Tk-804.030.tar.gz

dmake is only mentioned twice:
