Check your config/config.data file.  -lperl won't work without a
-L/usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.003/CORE before it.  Here's the
Perl section from my config.data:

=====
##  17.  Perl Configuration
##  Do you want Perl support?  Pick DO or DONT
#### =()<PERL_SUPPORT           @<PERL_SUPPORT>@>()=
PERL_SUPPORT            DO
##  How do you get the PERL libraries?  Probably -lperl -lm, blank if no PERL
#### =()<PERL_LIB       @<PERL_LIB>@>()=
PERL_LIB        -L/usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.003/CORE -lperl -lm
#PERL_LIB       -L/usr/local/gnu/lib/perl5/i386-bsdos/5.003/CORE -lperl -lm
##  Core directory (includes, libs). See perlembed(1)
#### =()<PERL_INC       @<PERL_INC>@>()=
PERL_INC                -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.003/CORE
#PERL_INC               -I/usr/local/gnu/lib/perl5/i386-bsdos/5.003/CORE
##  Perl Filter Files. Should probably be prefixed with the same value as
##  _PATH_CONTROLPROGS.

Why check the websites, when the Install.ms is right there?  What
exactly did you find insufficiently documented?
