Did you try installing the perl-devel package? My impression was that Mandrake split the perl package and put the headers to compile against in perl in a separate package.

Duh, thanks, you're right, I'm a developer right, so I install the developer package, right ? All the required files are there in the developer RPM. (goes off to flagellate himself).

CORE contains some perl header files. When you compile modules that link to Perl you may (or may not) need some of these header files available. The headers provide the stub functionality that the compiler needs to do its job.
There is a lot to be said for compiling your own perl. It is not that hard. You get the latest version. Things tend to just work. You can have a try without breaking anything.

I'm having this issue as well. Unfortunately, this post never concluded anything. So, consider this a repost.
I don't have the config.h file located in /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/CORE/ directory.
I'm trying to install CPAN.pm. But, it needs a module named ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which seems to have been replaced by ExtUtils::Command.pm. So, I get this error with installing ExtUtils::MakeMaker.pm.
