Hi,

I have a problem building JSON::Any.pm.

I am builing the make file by the command perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/foobar/Perllib LIB=/home/foobar/Perllib

The error i get is :

 
Cannot determine perl version info from lib/JSON/Any.pm
*** Module::AutoInstall version 1.03
*** Checking for Perl dependencies...

/home/foobar/.cpan/CPAN/MyConfig.pm initialized.

CPAN is the world-wide archive of perl resources. It consists of about
100 sites that all replicate the same contents all around the globe.
Many countries have at least one CPAN site already. The resources
found on CPAN are easily accessible with the CPAN.pm module. If you
want to use CPAN.pm, you have to configure it properly.
If you do not want to enter a dialog now, you can answer 'no' to this
question and I'll try to autoconfigure. (Note: you can revisit this
dialog anytime later by typing 'o conf init' at the cpan prompt.)
Are you ready for manual configuration? [yes]

and then tries to run cpan. I have searched the net at length but could not seem to find an answer, so i have come here where all the unanswerable questions seem to get answered. I am running a Redhat with perl 5.8.8. Thanks,
