Hi am trying to install FIle::Basename, I am encountering a problem which I did not have a couple of weeks ago when I did exactly the same. I think there has been a new development of this perl module under an unstable development. I dont know how to help myself, but I really need these modules. I am trying to install 
File::Basename
File::Copy
File::Path
File::Spec::Functions

[download]
and I get this f. error message: 
Running install for module 'File::Basename'
Running make for J/JE/JESSE/perl-5.13.9.tar.gz
  Has already been unwrapped into directory /Users/cassiopeia/Library/
+Application Support/.cpan/build/perl-5.13.9-fhJNgp

+.9-fhJNgp/Configure' returned status -1, won't make
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Thanks a lot, C
