Thanks. Good questions.
I've tried cpan, and some half-hearted manual attempts. I even tried installing CPANPLUS, but that didn't install either.
Systems are Linux. One is apparently red-hat, but I'm not sure how to be more specific.
On one system it complained about the system make, so I pulled down the latest GNU make and used that. I've tried it on the second system with DBM::Deep, with this (trailing) result from force install:
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

Writing Makefile for DBM::Deep
Can't exec "/home/sgriffith/unix/bin/make": No such file or directory
+at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/CPAN.pm line 4566.
/home/sgriffith/unix/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Here it seems that the make in the config file isn't the one used. But I think it's really complaining about dependencies, and then gets lost(?).
Is there some way to catch all of the output? I'm putty-ied in from another machine. Or should I just abandon cpan, and do this from the shell?
