A tried and true package, Time::Hires v1.47, that I have installed under RH Linux 7.3 numerous times fails under RH Linux 9.0

after perl Makefile.PL the next command, make, returns the following error:

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

The Makefile looks seriously screwed up (note the unmatched single quotes). This listing starts from line 71: 

VENDORPREFIX = an/m
INSTALLPRIVLIB = /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0
INSTALLSITELIB = /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0'

line 91 is the one that says "installman1".

Could someone with RH 9.0 please run 

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Time::HiRes'

[download]

to see if you get the same result?



Thanx!
