in reply to neomail and perl install

If you have CPAN installed you should try using that to install and manage modules as it makes life quite a bit easier.

Try -
     perl -MCPAN -e 'install Some::Module'

    Except in this case, it wouldn't help. CPAN and MakeMaker both use Config;, and if Config.pm is corrupted, it's not gonna help one bit.

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.

    I've tried to type perl -MCPAN -e 'install MD5' and it started installation. Then i retype it but it responds:
    Read more... (2 kB)
    Probably have i to be root?

      No, I think that Improv is correct...you need to install the perl development package for Mandrake.....which is where I get off, as I am strictly a Debian guy and  apt-get install perl just isn't going to help you much ;-)
