I would like to reinstall LWP perl module. To install perl modules I need to have ExtUtils-MakeMaker module, so I downloaded one from CPAN, untar it, ran 'perl Makefile.PL' successfully.

Now, from what I read I need to run 'make' command. However, I don't see 'make' in my dir or anywhere else. Did I do anything wrong?

From what I understand, after running 'perl Makefile.PL', I need to run 'make' to compile the code, then run 'make test' to test if all is OK, and then 'make install' to install the module. But I don't see 'make' anywhere. Please help. thanks.
