This was already addressed in POSIX.pm and Perl 5.004_02 - Compatible?. Maybe an analogy is in order.

If you take apart a clock, you end up with a whole lot of small parts. What you are trying to do is put a small part (POSIX.pm) into another clock (your perl installation), without knowing whether that part originally belonged to the clock, is already in there, misses any other parts that it needs in order to work. etc. etc.

Get a whole, working clock in one piece. It will have all the right parts.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
