It is more simple to change the Makefile.PL script, at line 33 change the line
               'INC' => "-I$IPTABLES_DIR/include"); 
to get
               'INC' => "-I$IPTABLES_DIR");

This is for perlipq-1.25.
After that, just enter the exact directory where your iptables components are 
and it will find them...
