True, but I never said it would make a difference.

And in some cases our tried and trusted cpan* tools can install missing dependencies which contain these headers files and such.

The Alien set of modules are good for such matters: if one of the modules you want to install has made it a dependency, cpan will rescue you.

    Then why go off topic?

      My reply was not off-topic and the further replies from the OP showed that indeed it was a matter of installing dependencies. cpan* is quite good in doing that.
