I am trying to use the spyder module but I can't get it installed because of an error in the ._Makefile.PL file. Can someone please help?

I have tried:

# perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for WWW::Spyder #
# make test
cp ._test.pl blib/lib/WWW/._test.pl . . . 1..20 1 - WWW::Spyder->new ok 2 - Resting timeout on UserAgent ok 3 - Setting VERBOSITY to 5 . . . ok 18 - Attributes: bell, current_Bytes, html_parser, linkText, seenUR +Ls, current_enQ, text, sleep_base, courtesy_Queue, enqueue_Objects, s +pydered, linkSwitch, cookie_file, page_content, alt, UA, page_Memory, + href, and bytes_GOT. ok 19 - Time: 4 ok 20 - Kbs: 186 #

The contents of ._Makefile.pl is:
^@^E^V^G^@^B^@^@Mac OS X ^@^B^@^@^@ ^@^@^@2^@^@^@ ^@^@^@^B +^@^@^@R^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^A^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ +^@^@^@^@^@
Is this module made for a MAC? I am on linux/fedora.
The module can be found at http://search.cpan.org/~ashley/WWW-Spyder-0.19/Spyder.pm Thanks a bunch, Kevin
