Greetings, fellow Monks,

I've been trying to install a few perl modules recently, but to no avail. Seeing as I'm on a Mac, I've been using the "sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell" method to start up CPAN, and then just "install Module::Name" to try and get the modules installed.

Now, generally, it all goes fine until one point: the make file. The moment that we come to that point, everything breaks. Here's what happens: 

  CPAN.pm: Going to build Module/Module/module.tar.gaz

    -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
And everything promptly stops. Does anyone know how I could fix this problem?
Thanks,
Spidy
