I've tried installing 3 different modules on my account which is hosted on a shared UNIX server running Solaris 7. Another client of my hosting company was able to install the same 5 modules I'm trying to install 6 months ago so I'm pretty sure it can be done unless my host changed something.

I'm trying to install the module 'Crypt: DES' and it keeps coming up with errors. I unpacked all the files and put them under a directory within my space. I then went into the directory where the module was unpacked and typed: perl Makefile.PL and it keeps coming up with this:

venus:/public_html/perl/Crypt-DES-2.03 > perl Makefile.PL

Warning: I could not locate your pod2man program. Please make sure, your pod2man program is in your PATH before you execute 'make'

Writing Makefile for Crypt: ES venus:/public_html/perl/Crypt-DES-2.03 >

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong or how I can get this to work? I've spent a few hours on this and I'm going crazy!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff
