This is correct. It would be nice if the owner of said page would
update the available modules.

Do be aware that "something like that" doesn't help debugging. Specify
exactly where you found the Makefile.PL file. The above path is, as
best I can tell, unrelated to the "porting" instructions since it's in
the *pilotmgr* tree, and you're supposed to be looking in the
*pilot-link* tree. So.
You'll most likely need to install your own copy of pilot-link, a
library for connecting to the Pilot. The last time I checked, it
doesn't build the Perl libraries by default, hence the above
requirement to hand-make the Perl Makefile. Additionally, you'll find
that common versions of this on the net don't build under Perl
versions greater than 5.0; to get around this, you can either look for
a newer version (try plucker.gnu-designs.com) or build the Makefile
using 'perl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1'.
Do note also that I've only built this on Linux systems, so if you're
building on a Solaris box, I probably can't help.
Cheers,
Waider.
