There is something very strange going on. It almost looks like your Makefile.PL gets overwritten, since as you can see on https://metacpan.org/source/NINE/Inline-Python-0.41/Makefile.PL it should not contain the word "mtime" at all. Looking closer at your path, there's some strange "PaxHeaders.4409" directory. I found some description at http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Split- Recovery.html Seems like your tar could not handle the tar file correctly. I'm at a loss though why the tar file should be in multiple volumes. I just used make dist to create it which uses a single tar command. But maybe the tar files get unpacked and repacked when uploading to CPAN. Your kernel version indicates that you are using a very old system. So I guess your tar is as old.

Thanks for your response. Older version of tar was the culprit and switching to a newer version fixed the issue. BTW, I have been installing lots of modules with the older version of tar without any issues. Anyway, I have updated ~/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm to point to the newer version.
