CPAN Errors on install

initself has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am trying to setup my Perl installation, particularly CPAN, on a new machine. The operating system is Slackware 11. CPAN doesn't seem to want to create a Makefile. There are errors that seem to be related to directory paths that I can't seem to figure out. I'm hoping my paste, showing the errors, will be enough for someone to help guide me to the solution. Here it is:

I would like to know what's calling File::Spec::Unix but I can't figure that out either.

Perlmonks doesn't need pastebins. Also, what you pasted isn't very diagnostic `Warning: No success on command[/usr/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL]` [download] So Makefile.PL failed somehow, try running it manually to see why/how.	[reply] [d/l]
Re^2: CPAN Errors on install by initself (Monk) on Oct 01, 2009 at 00:31 UTC
When I run perl Makefile.PL from the package directory directly, it creates the makefile just fine. It's only from CPAN that the module does not want to create the makefile.	[reply]
