According to the output of Makefile.PL, you just need to run make again. But usually, when that does not work, you have a problem with your file systems. For example if you are compiling the module in a directory that is mounted via NFS and the NFS server has a wallclock time different from your client machine. Other problematic filesystems I've heard about are AFS, and maybe your RAID system has a similar problem. You can check that by changing into the build directory and then typing the following:

date
touch test.file
ls -altr test.file
date
[download]

The timestamp of test.file should not be in the future (obviously) and it should not be in the past either, but exactly equal to the two outputs of the date command. Of course, you likely won't type in the four commands within one second, but you might either put them into a script or simply notice that the created file has a creation timestamp "too long" ago or "too far" in the future. Neither should happen.

This is the result of your recomendation:
root@ss_development:~# date
Thu Sep 1 15:30:10 EDT 2005
root@ss_development:~# touch test.file
root@ss_development:~# ls -altr test.file
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2005-09-01 15:30 test.file
root@ss_development:~# date
Thu Sep 1 15:30:35 EDT 2005
root@ss_development:~#

Your system clock is three months in the past. The TAR file is probably newer than that. When it unpacks, the resulting dates are in your 'future', which confuses make.

Fix your system date and your other problems will likely go away.

I update the date to my timezone, date and time, and now is working.

Thanks for the help man, i didn't realize this small thing could make such problem.

Incorrect system time causes all sorts of wierdness, because a lot of programs make the assumption that it's correct (a fair enough assumption IMHO).

I doubt that the MD5 module is causing the particular problem you're having with an apparant "out-of-date" Makefile, but you might consider going into your  .cpan/build/ directory, doing  rm -rf *MD5* and try the "perl -MCPAN -e shell" again. And this time...

• Don't skip the manual config (it doesn't take that long, and you might learn something).
• Don't install MD5 first.

Good luck.

(update: Actually, the cpan page for the MD5 module says that it is "depreciated", but that still amounts to saying "don't use this".)

Why did you install the MD5 module? Did you not notice on the cpan page where it says "The MD5 module is deprecated. Use Digest::MD5 instead."?

Because sometimes, people have code that is not within their control that was written when MD5 was not deprecated.
