Hi lporter200,

Please read the PerlMonks FAQ and How do I post a question effectively? if you have not done so already. I am assuming you have Mac OSX since you have not told us. Have you installed the Mac OSX SDK from the CD Rom? A couple of links to look at are Installing Perl 5.8 on Jaguar which states in its 'Preperation' section:

'You need to have Apple’s Development Tools installed. To learn more about these and how to download the latest set for free, visit the Development Tools page on ADC.'

I understand that you are trying to install a module rather than Perl itself, however I am pretty sure you will still need the Mac OSX development tools installed to provide compilers etc.

Hope this helps.

Martin
