It looks like the problem lies with your perl(1) installation rather than
with the UDUNITS package.  It could be that the perl(1) installation is
out-of-date with respect to your operating-system and system header-files.

Do you need the perl(1) interface to the UDUNITS library?  If not, then
you can build and install the UDUNITS package without it and eliminate
this problem.  To do this, set the environment variable PERL to the empty
string before executing the "configure" script.  For example:

    $ make distclean
    ...
    $ PERL='' ./configure >configure.log 2>&1
    ...

If you need the perl(1) interface to the UDUNITS package, then I suggest
that you update your perl(1) installation and try again.
