I'm compiling 5.25.4 from a path with a space character in it. It fails from a double double quoting issue that tries to run a command like:

    ""/Path/To Some/Place/perl"" ...

which_perl from MakeMaker::Test::Utils returns a path already quoted, like q("/Path/To Some/Place/perl"). The run subroutine in mkpport checks for whitespace in $perl and adds another layer of double quotes around the string if it finds whitespace. It should only do that if the value doesn't already have those quotes.
