Hi, 

I have had this problem before installing other modules.  I think its 
something to do with the packages requiring ( or at least they have 
been tested on) later versions of perl.

I found this workaround:

	touch /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/CORE/opnames.h
	touch /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/CORE/perlapi.h
	touch /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/CORE/utf8.h
	touch /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/CORE/warnings.h

The above should get rid of most problems.


Regards

Ian
