If anyone cares, I found it:

	http://search.cpan.org/dist/ppt/src/make/pmake

It's part of PPT (http://search.cpan.org/dist/ppt/), the Perl Power
Tools/Unix Reconstruction Project, which was initially spearheaded by Tom
Christiansen and is now apparently maintained by Casey West. ("Our goal is
quite simply to reimplement the classic Unix command set in pure Perl, and
to have as much fun as we can doing so.")
