in thread installing perl module

OK, I found and installed make rpm. Now I do have /usr/bin/make. However, when I run make, I get "No rule to make target /usr/lib64/perl5/CORE/config.h needed by Makefile."

Any idea how to proceed from here?

I realize this may not be a perl question per say anymore. So if you think I should stop wasting your time, please let me know.

Thank you.

    To fix 'no rule to make config.h' error, I had to install a few of perl rpms such as perl-devel, perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker, perl-ExtUtils-ParseXS, perl-Test-Harness. After that I was able to install ExtUtils-MakeMaker perl library. Now I am trying to reinstall LWP library, but make showed warnings that couldn't find prerequisite Encode::Locale, File::Listing, HTML::Entities and a lot of others. I am going to try to get them from cpan and after installing them, will try to install LWP again.

    Just so my efforts are not in vain, could somebody confirm that when running a perl script I get an error "501 Protocol scheme 'http' is not supported", it could indeed mean that my LWP library isn't properly installed and I need to reinstall it? If I do need to uninstall, is there a proper way to do it? Ofcourse, if that error means something else, I'd like to know what it could be.

    Thanks much.
