This extension only installs if you are running RT. Where is your RT install located? - Alex

When running interactively, you'll be prompted to enter the path to RT.pm. When running non-interactively (as appears above), you need to either pass -I/path/to/rt/lib when running Makefile.PL or set RTHOME in the environment: RTHOME=/path/to/rt/lib perl Makefile.PL This could be documented better. (It is not recommended that RT is installed into any of the normal @INC paths.)

OK though I am not sure what do you mean by "interactively". I noticed this problem when I tried to instal the module using cpanm, and then I ran cpanm --look RT::Authen::ExternalAuth and ran perl Makefile.PL manually in the shell opened by that command. I have not seen a prompt in either case. I am not sure how could Makefile.PL be "fixed" but IMHO the error message that comes from it could indicate what you just wrote or point to the place where this is documented.

I get a prompt: $ cpanm --look RT::Authen::ExternalAuth --> Working on RT::Authen::ExternalAuth Fetching https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/A/AL/ALEXMV/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth-0.23.tar.gz...

If an M:I:RTx based Makefile.PL gets to prompting you, then it's already exhausted the defaults and hence has no default to fallback upon.
