in reply to Help on installing a CPAN module
In the first case, as normal user, you don't have write permission for the system perl lib directories. In the second, it sounds like root doesn't find make in $ENV{PATH}. That is common for gnu make's default installation in /usr/local/bin.
The usual solution is to do everything but 'make install' as normal user, then su and '/usr/local/bin/make install' 1. This is all very dependent on local installation and environment.
These considerations apply to any software build, not just CPAN modules

Update: perleager has indicated that gcc is not found either, also being in /usr/local/bin . The remedy is to say on the command line, before building:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
