I am need to use a package of CPAN on my mac OSX 10.4.8. After installation of CPAN I tested it by trying to install Bundle::CPAN as was recommended. I got a large output, the first part of which is listed below. "LWP not available" and ultimately it said installation seems impossible because it "cannot carry out testing without successful make". What seems to be the problem? 
 cpan> install Bundle::CPAN
CPAN: Storable loaded ok

Fetching with Net::FTP:

#A bunch of output in between

  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
