When building the Perl interface to the UDUNITS package, the build
procedure uses the same compiler options that were used to build the
perl utility.  It appears that your perl utility was built with options
that are incompatible with your current compiler (-xdepend).  Compiler
options can be see via the command "perl -V".

Because your goal is to use the decoders package and that package uses
the perl interface to the UDUNITS package, you can't just not build the
perl interface.

I think your best bet is to get or build a more recent version of the
perl(1) utility and then try again to build the UDUNITS package.
