I'm trying to install RRDTool::OO on two machines with CPAN.pm which are running respectively Gentoo and Debian Linux.

Update: Solved!

Preliminarly I have succesfully installed RRDtool by means of the respective OS-specific tools.

Now on the former machine I could install RRDTool::OO succesfully, while on the latter the install procedure does not complete and I get the following output at the CPAN prompt: 

This module requires the RRDs module to be installed. It is 
available in the rrdtool distribution:
 http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/pub/rrdtool.tar.gz
Do you want me to install it for you right now ([y]/n)?Can't open INST
+ALLDIRS=site: No such file or directory at Makefile.PL line 19.

And then, later on: 
sh: line 1: configure: command not found
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
sh: line 1: cd: perl-shared: No such file or directory
Can't open perl script "Makefile.PL": No such file or directory
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `test'.  Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
Install failed:  at Makefile.PL line 58.
