Perl problems with PopFile Isntall

Hey all:

I am trying to install popfile (http://popfile.sourceforge.net) on a Mac Powerbook G3 running 10.3.5.

The version for the mac requires that I download and install several perl modules from CPAN. No problem there but after the download I get the following message/error:

Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.

It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before
building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain
these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case,
please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It
usually solves this kind of problem.

(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "/System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/perl.h")
# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install


How do I correct this problem? I understand that panther has perl installed where older versions did not. Is this correct or do I have to install perl from scratch?

Thanks,

The Traveller
 
Check your hard drive>Library. There should be a Perl folder in there.
