I was trying to install the Carp module from CPAN in terminal, and, well, it wasn't pretty. 
cpan[6]> install Carp                                                 
+                                                                     
+                                                                     
+                            
Running install for module 'Carp'
The most recent version "1.21" of the module "Carp"
is part of the perl-5.15.2 distribution. To install that, you need to 
+run
  force install Carp   --or--
  install R/RJ/RJBS/perl-5.15.2.tar.bz2
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
 RJBS/perl-5.15.2.tar.bz2                     : make NO isa perl

That's a big problem... Can anyone help me out with this?
