I tried to install Getopt:Simple via CPAN on my new Mandrake 9.2
(download edition) box.
I get this
        
        Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source
        code.
        
        It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location
        before
        building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not
        contain
        these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a
        case,
        please build and install your perl from a fresh perl
        distribution. It
        usually solves this kind of problem.
        
        (You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find
        "/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h")
As the note indicates - there is no perl.h in the indicated directory
(but the directory is there)

Are these files in any paticular package?  "urpmi perl" seems to
indicate everything is installed.
