I recommend you upgrade to cpanm if you can. Regardless, there should be a build log somewhere (try searching ~/.cpan) that will contain the errors encountered while trying to `make'. Worst case, download the module yourself (I think cpan(1) can help with this if you ask it politely), extract its contents, and attempt to build yourself. One you know what errors you are getting that will help to hint to the ultimate problem. If you still need help post up the build output (or wait for somebody that knows here to find it for cpan(1)). > I'm running always as root for everything.

Of course, having global sudo access isn't ideal either (Ubuntu is silly in that regard). Look into perlbrew to install a localized perl installation that you can manage yourself without root privileges. Running always as root (or sudo'ing without due care) is asking for trouble. Typically the system perl (e.g., /usr) is asking for trouble or at least pains too simply because you either need root (see above) or need to do magic to not need to, and typically it is out-of-date (though Ubuntu may keep it more up-to-date than other distros, I believe that is still several releases back). > Any help would be greatly appreciated!
