I don't think you're doing anything wrong, it is just
Prima wasn't tested on AIX before. You probably hit
more bumps, but if you succeed your porting efforts would
be greatly appreciated. Now, for this particular error,
it was caused by Makefile.PL didn't find stricmp on your
system, and therefore name clash followed. You can
check makefile.log for the result of this probe, although it's
tricky; or, as a hack, edit include/generic/config.h and
add '#define HAVE_STRCASECMP 1' line there.

In any case, I'm curious why Makefile.PL didn't find the function.
When such thing happens it is always because of problems with
other compiler/linker flags, which most probably Makefile.PL
set incorrectly for AIX.

PS. - You can also try to compile with gcc:

perl Makefile.PL COMPILER=gcc
