if you look in Makefile.PL just above the section of postamble that adds
those rules there's a line that is don't add them unless we're not on
MSWin32.

unless ($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
                $text .= "
# the tmp-xxx stuff is just so that only the pl files get installed
install-\%: %
...

what is in your $^0 var, it's it's not MSWin32? try 
$ perl 
print "$^0\n";
<ctrl-d>

installed would no longer be.
