Hi everyone

Just tried to install the Gtk2 module from cpan (as was recommended to me by my tut),
but the weird long thing wouldn't install (can't figure out what's the problem).
Whenever I've encountered this kind of problem b4 I just forgot about the module, and seeked alternatives but I was told this is the best (from some reason).

Anyway if someone can tell me what's the problem and/or how to solve it, it would help a looooot.

Here is everything the appeared on my terminal (note I was asked to install another module in mid-process):
