Something in MakeMaker or MM_* sub-modules for sure, but maybe affected by environment variables, locale, glibc. "perl Makefile.PL verbose verbose" most likely won't reveal anything because the pod2man section of your makefile was unchanged. And "perl -d Makefile.PL" plus stepping through the code with 's' could get quite complex. There are more mighty debugging features included in Perl, such as explained in "perldoc perldebug". > BTW, none of my perl packages seem to be creating man pages.
