Hello monks- this could well be something rather ingorant on my part, but I cant seem to get a module to install. I've been playing with perl for a short while now, and just recently tried to install a module for my first time. Here is the error I got: 
$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Illegal character \015 (carriage return) at (eval 6) line 7, <FH> chun
+k 63.
Could not eval '
            package ExtUtils::MakeMaker::_version;
            no strict;

            local $VERSION;
            $VERSION=undef; do {
                $VERSION = "0.01";
            }; $VERSION
        ' in RAX.pm: (Maybe you didn't strip carriage returns after a 
+network transfer?)

If anyone could enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong here I'd greatly apprecieate it. I don't see why there could be strange linefeeds, I downloaded an unpackged the tgz file on the same Redhat system I'm trying to install onto.
