Update-MakeMaker.sh fails - what am I missing?

[Brian Parish]

OK - almost there I think.  I urpmi'd all the packages that were
available and installed Net::CIDR usng cpan.  The only one I'm in
trouble with now seems to be Convert::BinHex

cpan> install Convert::BinHex
Running install for module Convert::BinHex
Running make for E/ER/ERYQ/Convert-BinHex-1.119.tar.gz
