What you are probably seeing are the tests usually associated with the CPAN install.
It may also find a new version the CPAN.pm module and upgrade it on the fly. It does
that every now and then.
I didn't see anything to worry about. Looks like the 'make install' worked just
You might want to try downloading the binhex code and build it without cpan. I did
find this during my google on ExtUtils::Command::MM
It suggests the code is not stable. Might be the problem. It's not on your system and
CPAN installs of it might be a problem.

No worries. I usually go to cpan.org.
Here is the direct link to the info page. Lots of good details on how it
works.
I would run system commands with the backticks. That tells Perl to run the command
and place the contents in the variable you defined.
System OTOH returns if the command completed successfully (at least I believe that's
what happened here).

Something like this perhaps?
If you also need the actual size then perhaps this will work (again untested)
my $size_in_k = (-s) / 1000;
print $_ is $size_in_k Kbytes;
If I'm reading this correctly, you are trying to match a word at the end of a string.
If that's the case then move the word boundary to the end of your match.
print $ .\n if (/eat\b/);
print $ .\n if (/gre\b/);
