Dear monks, I'm new in PERL and on this forum, and I hope someone can help me with the following problem: Installing Apache2::Request using CPAN fails on my system, Ubuntu 7.10. In the installation proces CPAN complains about:

CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.66)

  CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JO/JOESUF/libapreq2-2.08.tar.gz
./configure --enable-perl-glue --with-perl-opts="INSTALLDIRS=site" --w
+ith-apache2-apxs="/usr/bin/apxs2" --with-perl="/usr/bin/perl"
.
.
.
Warning: No success on command[/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=s
+ite]
  JOESUF/libapreq2-2.08.tar.gz
  /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test
[download]

apparently the "INSTALLDIRS" option does not work out. How to solve and be able to install the module?
