Broken MailScanner? / CPAN? / Perl ? install on Fedora Core 8 x64

I can't figure out where the install.sh script is breaking and CPAN itself is installed and updated to the current version. Note: I've installed a lot of the Perl modules/applications by hand using cpan and that seems to work fine. For reference, this is an 8 CPU server with 4 GB ram running FC8 with (as of yesterday) all updates installed. My first thought was that multithreaded compilation (make -j5) was causing the problem so I made it single threaded but the same error occurs. Here's the first couple pages of the output from install.sh:

----
Good. You have the patch command.

Good, you have /usr/src/redhat in place.
But you are running Fedora, so I am going to force the installation
of the Perl modules that normally require it.

Good, unpackaged files will not break the build process.
Good, far-too-clever Perl requirements will be ignored.

Good, you appear to only have 1 copy of Perl installed.

I think you are running on RedHat Linux, Mandriva Linux or SuSE Linux.
Good, you appear to have the basic development tools installed.

This script will pause for a few seconds after each major step,
so do not worry if it appears to stop for a while.
If you want it to stop so you can scroll back through the output
then press Ctrl-S to stop the output and Ctrl-Q to start it again.


If this fails due to dependency checks, and you wish to ignore
these problems, you can run
    ./install.sh nodeps

Setting Perl5 search path

I think your system will build architecture-dependent modules for x86_64

Rebuilding all the Perl RPMs for your version of Perl

Oh good, module ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.32 is already installed.

Oh good, module Net::CIDR version 0.11 is already installed.

Maybe it did not build correctly?

And so forth.  I think the line: find: debug: No such file or directory is where it is blowing up, but I can't (my skills are limited) find the reference to 'debug' and I've installed 'debug' type perl modules but none of them seem to have what the script is looking for. Any help tracking this down would be greatly appreciated. FWIW I'm fairly sure I could install each and every CPAN module manually and install.sh would have little to do but simply install MailScanner.
