That looks like a problem with the installed ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.17. That one is rather old... Have you successfully installed other modules on this system? Can you try to install a newer version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker and see if that fixes the problem? HTH + good luck, Abe.

I wasn't able to upgrade MakeMaker (I haven't investigated why) but upgrading perl solved the problem. Thanks.

Sorry to respond so late after the fact. I'll attribute this to the oldness of ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Thanks for your input! Good luck, -- Abe.
