A good habit is to give too much info.  Much better than too little.
Basically, just assume we're 100% pure idiot.  Just saying "complains" is
not enough.

That's because perl-mode-map is only created when perl-mode is loaded which
only happens when you open a Perl file.

You can do

  (defun my-perl-hook ()
    (define-key perl-mode-map [menu-bar cust]
      (cons "Cust" (make-sparse-keymap "Cust"))))
  (add-hook 'perl-mode-hook 'my-perl-hook)
