in thread neomail and perl install

I've tried to type perl -MCPAN -e 'install MD5' and it started installation. Then i retype it but it responds:
CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /home/nathanvi/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Wed, 07 May 2003 00:13:12 GMT Running install for module MD5 Running make for G/GA/GAAS/MD5-2.02.tar.gz CPAN: Digest::MD5 loaded ok Checksum for /home/nathanvi/.cpan/sources/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/MD5-2.0 +2.tar.gz ok Scanning cache /home/nathanvi/.cpan/build for sizes MD5-2.02/ MD5-2.02/Makefile.PL MD5-2.02/MD5.pm MD5-2.02/Changes MD5-2.02/t/ MD5-2.02/t/md5.t MD5-2.02/README MD5-2.02/MANIFEST Removing previously used /home/nathanvi/.cpan/build/MD5-2.02 CPAN.pm: Going to build G/GA/GAAS/MD5-2.02.tar.gz Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code. It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case, please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It usually solves this kind of problem. (You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "/usr/lib/perl +5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/perl.h") Running make test Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test Running make install Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install
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 ;-)
