Dennis,
You are absolutely correct, I hadn't gotten the latest trunk.  It worked
just as you suggested and here is the outcome:

[root@jnispc gearmanxs]# export GEARMAN_INCLUDE=/usr/local/include/
[root@jnispc gearmanxs]# export GEARMAN_LIB=/usr/local/lib/
[root@jnispc gearmanxs]# perl Makefile.PL
Using GEARMAN_LIB = /usr/local/lib/
Using GEARMAN_INCLUDE = /usr/local/include/
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

> because the Makefile isn't built to find a non-standard libgearman location.
>  On some Linux machines the standard C gearman installation goes to
> /usr/lib64 or /usr/local/lib instead of /usr/lib....... the fix for this was
