A couple of things could be wrong. /usr/bin/perl might not have
execution permissions for everyone or you don't have a program called
'test' in your $PATH. Or the shell used by make thinks true is false and
false is true (I kid you not!). See what this says from a shell command
line:

test -x /usr/bin/perl && echo "perl is OK" || echo "perl test failed"
