in reply to CPAN modules install problem?

The key here is the CASE. As is often the case of Perl frontends to C libs, the Perl version has caps. So GD can't find gd.h, that should tell you it's not a perl problem, it's a C library problem. Another example of the CASE insanity is Gimp, with is the perl frontend to gimp.
