Where cpl_string.h is in your system - did you install GDAL or are you 
building within the GDAL source tree?

Makefile.PL should add the include path to the Makefile_Geo__OSR, which 
is used for compiling osr_wrap.cpp. You may need to edit Makefile.PL a 
bit. See how it tests where GDAL and gdal-config is. It adds to the $INC 
variable include paths depending on where is finds gdal-config.
