    Can't install Perl modules

    I get the following errors when trying to install perl modules on our Mac G4 server.
    Does anyone know how to correct this situation?
    It happens with any module, not just this one.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I can't find make or gmake, and my life depends on it.
    Go find a public domain implementation or fix your PATH setting!
    Running make test
    Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
    Running make install
    Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install
    Running make for R/RB/RBS/File-Spec-0.82.tar.gz
    Unwrapped into directory /var/root/.cpan/build/File-Spec-0.82
    Has already been processed within this session
    Running make test
    Oops, make had returned bad status
    Running make install

    Makefile.PL returned status 256
    Running make test

    CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MS/MSCHWERN/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.05.tar.gz

    -- NOT OK

    Do you have the Dev Tools installed? I believe that make is part of that (and making perl modules sometimes requires cc and the C libs & includes from the Dev Tools)
    I am but a lonely shadow,
    Doomed forever to roam and wander.
    But if you allow me to pause before I must go,
    I'll spin you tales of mystery and wonder.

    I think you're right. We missed thatone.
    Do you know anything about enabling suEXEC on a Mac? Running Jaguar OS X Server 10.2
    A script we need to install says to enable it.
