Hi, I am installing the Lingua::EN::NamedEntity module using cpan on Windows 7. I have Strawberry Perl 5.16.3.1 (32bit) on my system and the command I used is the following:

cpan Lingua::EN::NamedEntity

But, the module doesn't get installed and perl gives the following error:

C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.exe -- NOT OK
CPAN: YAML::XS loaded ok (v0.39)
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Stopping: 'install' failed for 'Lingua::EN::NamedEntity'.
