I would very much like to see the first error that the CPAN shell gets - the errors you quote aren't useful. (They basically boil down to "something went wrong earlier").

That being said, your manual compilation attempt won't succeed because the first argument to perl isn't a perl script. Re-order your arguments and put Makefile.PL at the front:

~/.cpan/build/Tree-Suffix-0.12$ perl Makefile.PL CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -I$HO
+ME/MyBioTool/libstree-0.4.2/include" LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L$HOME/MyBioT
+ool/libstree-0.4.2/lib"

followed by the command make and, only if the previous command was successful, make test and then (again, only if make test was successful) make install.

map{y/X_/\n /;print}map{pop@$_}@/for@/

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Do you know where your variables are?
