I'm having a lot of trouble with my perl. A while back I was using CPAN to install some perl modules to get my PPV listings to show up in my guide and in the process of trying to get that up and running, I seemed to have broken my perl portion of KnoppMyth. I never did get it up and running, but I know I had it working on previous KM installs. Now, whenever I use CPAN to install a perl module, I get the following error:

Code:

Writing Makefile for Digest::SHA
cp SHA.pm blib/lib/Digest/SHA.pm
/usr/bin/perl /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -typemap /usr/share/perl/5.8/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap  SHA.xs > SHA.xsc && mv SHA.xsc SHA.c

  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Failed during this command:
  MSHELOR/Digest-SHA-5.42.tar.gz               : make NO

The above was run as root, so there should not be any permission problems (I assume.

) I was thinking of "refreshing" my perl with the KM install CD. However, I'm not sure what I need to refresh to bring my perl back to a virgin state. Does anyone know (1) how I can fix my problem with the errors or (2) what I need to "refresh" without breaking my box?

Thanks!

I figured out the answer to my problems, so I thought I'd share...

is a result of perl-5.8.8 and gcc <= 3.4 not playing nicely together. To work around this, you need to manually edit your perl module's Makefile (located under the /root/.cpan directory) to remove the reference to
