If it helps, if they're *NIX boxes, uname -a will fully identify the OS.

It rather looks like there are dependencies not installed - CPAN will (attempt to) install these dependencies before trying DBM::Deep ... unless, of course, your machines are air-gapped from the inter-web thingy - but there are strategies (posts/responses elsewhere herein) for working round that kind of problem.

Worse still, this 'smells' like your PATH may be set incorrectly (I suspect echo $PATH will return /home/sgriffith/unix/bin) - I would expect the shell to be attempting to locate make in /usr/bin or somewhere more exotic.

HTH ,

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

    OK, uname -a results: 
    Linux otdp1 2.6.9-67.0.7.ELsmp #1 SMP Sat Mar 15 06:33:45 EDT 2008 x86
+_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

    Both machines are connected to the internet. For instance, I can manually ftp to one of the CPAN mirror sites from both machines.

    $PATH is:

    .:/home/sgriffit/perl:/home/sgriffit/bin:/home/sgriffit/unix/bin:/usr/perl5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
