I am working on setting up a linux box with many different software packages, many of which have much newer versions. I'm trying to install Net-FTP-Common right now. I am extremely new to perl and linux, so if I'm doing something completely wrong it won't be a surprise. This is what I receive when I attempt to "make test". There are a few other errors besides the one below, so if you want them I can put them up later. What exactly is this error telling me? And, what steps do I need to take to resolve it? 

[root@kirby34 Net-FTP-Common-4.0a]# make test
