in reply to make install problems

Try export PERL5LIB=$HOME/perllib before running perl on the Makefile.PL (or the equivalent for csh if that's your shell).

---
print map { my ($m)=1<<hex($_)&11?' ':'';
$m.=substr('AHJPacehklnorstu',hex($_),1) }
split //,'2fde0abe76c36c914586c';

    make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `test_dynamic'

    just to make sure I did a test to see what version of File::Spec was installed in /home/erickn/perllib
    so, I ran the following program...
    use lib "/home/erickn/perllib";
    use File::Spec;
    print "$File::Spec::VERSION\n";

    and it returned
    0.82
