You are getting that message because it requires Module::Build::Compat version 0.02 or greater to run the autogenerated `Makefile.PL`. You can check which version of the module you have by running: `perl -MModule::Build::Compat -e 'print $Module::Build::Compat::VERSION +'` [download] at the command line. If the version is lower than 0.02 then you should upgrade Module::Build. Alternatively you can just skip the `Makefile.PL` and use the `Build.PL` as described in the INSTALL file in the distribution. /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If you are sure that Module:Build is installed already in the system, then you have to add the path in PERL5LIB so that Sys-Filesystem willl find it. If Sys-Filesystem does not find where your Module:Build installed then it will end up with an error always. Example `PERL5LIB="${GATEWAY_FRAMEWORK}/perl_extensions/lib/site_perl:${GATEWAY +_FRAMEWORK}/parsersrc"` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
