What is your perl -V?

Makefile:91: *** missing separator. Stop.

That is typical if you are not using the same make with which your perl was built (which you should -- perl -V:make, if it says make, then contact whoever built your perl).

update: just a shot in the dark, but you should make sure you're not bit by the redhat locale problem.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
