That is truly a really weird error. I have never encountered it before. Maybe the system mangler is doing some deep voodoo on the server, because you're not really supposed to install your own CPAN modules, you're supposed to petition his Almightiness and with sufficient grovelling he may deign to install it for you. That way we all get to benefit from the use of the module.

Seriously though, I have no idea about the error, but if you just ask Chris, he'll install it for you in the site installation.

Of course, if you're not using CPAN modules (or from elsewhere) and in fact rolling your own, none of this applies. In that case I would suggest doing

  touch Makefile

[download]

... and then you're up and running immediately. I suspect, in this case, than your Makefile.PL is responsible for this sorry state of affairs. Try reproducing it with a small a Makefile.PL as possible, and then post that.

<grumble>Argh, that'll serve me right for waffling on. blakem says the same thing and squeaks in one whole second before me.</grumble>
