Dear monks,

I have compiled a perl 5.8.9 (my OS is Ubuntu 9.0.4) using the commands: 
./Configure -der -Uusedl -Dprefix=/usr
make
cp perl /home/perl/usr/bin
miniperl installperl --destdir=/home/perl

[download]
make check succeeds in the perl directory. However when I try to run on a module perl Makefile.PL I get the following error: 
export PERL5LIB=/home/perl/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.9
/home/perl/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL 
PERL_LIB=/home/perl/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.9
PERL_ARCHLIB=/home/perl/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.9
INSTALLSITELIB=/home/perl/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.9
INSTALLSITEARCH=/home/perl/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.9 DESTDIR=/home/perl

I get: 
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Can't locate object method "init_MAKE" via package "PACK001" at
/home/perl/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.9/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 544.

Thanks in advance for your assistance,
