Hi
I'm trying to use CPAN to install modules on a Linux box as but it always 
fails. I'm logged in as root. Help appreciated.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
cpan[1]> force install HTML::HTMLDoc
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.68)
Going to read 4 yaml files from /root/.cpan/build/
CPAN: Time::HiRes loaded ok (v1.9711)

Running install for module 'HTML::HTMLDoc'
Running make for M/MF/MFRANKL/HTML-HTMLDoc-0.10.tar.gz

/root/.cpan/build/HTML-HTMLDoc-0.10-8rfFZS

  CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MF/MFRANKL/HTML-HTMLDoc-0.10.tar.gz

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
  MFRANKL/HTML-HTMLDoc-0.10.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
