There is no manify_pods in Makefile.PL that I can see.
Searching for 'manify' only shows occurrences in this sub:

sub MY::manifypods {
	my $self = shift;
	#print STDERR "In manifypods moment\n";
	if( 1 ) {
		return "\nmanifypods : pure_all\n\t$self->{NOECHO}\$(NOOP)\n"
	} 
	else {
		return $self->SUPER::manifypods(@_);
	}
}

I can't see how this is preventing the manification step. Of
course I don't know what those $self-> incantations do ...
please enlighten me.
