I'm having some problems building/installing IO::Prompt
perl Makefile.PL Warning: prerequisite version 0 not found. Could not eval ' package ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version; no strict; local $VERSION; $VERSION=undef; do { use version; $VERSION = qv('0.99.2'); }; $VERSION ' in lib/IO/Prompt.pm: Can't locate version.pm in @INC (@INC c +ontains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/ +5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib +/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor +_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 +/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-mul +ti /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 .) at (eval 9) line 7, <FH> line 6.

WARNING: Setting VERSION via file 'lib/IO/Prompt.pm' failed at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 523 Writing Makefile for IO::Prompt

It does install, but I get the following error when trying to load it..
Can't locate version.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i +386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/ +5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib +/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-m +ulti /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr +/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 .) at / +usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/IO/Prompt.pm line 6.

Can anyone help??
