Hi Douglas,

I just tried installing it from cpan, without any problems. I did the
install for perl 5.8.7 on a Mandriva 2006.0 (Official).
The error you get kind of suggest that you've forgotten to install the
perl-devel package, which contains the header file EXTERN.h ... Try
doing an "urpmi perl-devel" (as root) and then rerun the cpan install.
