The problem is that the Makefile does not realize that Git.xs no longer is there. Neither does the code which recreates the Makefile. You will notice that there is a new generated perl/Makefile, which no longer tries to compile Git.xs, Git.bs or Git.c When there is a Git.c, "perl Makefile.PL" will do the wrong thing, namely it expects that you created Git.c by hand, and wants to compile it. If there is a Git.bs, it thinks you want Git.c created. Sort of automake for Perl.
