The stopgap solution is to sayperl Makefile.PL POLLUTE=1
(in the interfaces/perl5 directory) and then build as usual.  This
should happen automatically if you are using Postgres 7.0, but you
could do it manually if you have an older release.

There is a cleaner long-term solution but it involves more work...
