I have been trying to get CPAN working (with sudo perl -MCPAN -e 
shell;), but when building Perl 5.6.1, i get errors. i tried to force 
it, to no avail.

these are the last lines of the build process...I was hoping everything 
would be automagic, but why is there no makefile?

I'm on OS X [darwin] and used all the defaults, even when they were 
strange (couldn't find malloc?)

thanks for the help, i've learned a lot from reading the list.


Creating config.sh...

If you'd like to make any changes to the config.sh file before I begin
to configure things, do it as a shell escape now (e.g. !vi config.sh).

Press return or use a shell escape to edit config.sh:
Doing variable substitutions on .SH files...
Extracting Makefile (with variable substitutions)
Extracting Policy.sh (with variable substitutions)
Extracting cflags (with variable substitutions)
Extracting config.h (with variable substitutions)
Extracting makeaperl (with variable substitutions)
Extracting makedepend (with variable substitutions)
Extracting makedir (with variable substitutions)
Extracting myconfig (with variable substitutions)
Extracting pod/Makefile (with variable substitutions)
Extracting writemain (with variable substitutions)
Extracting x2p/Makefile (with variable substitutions)
Extracting x2p/cflags (with variable substitutions)
Done.

If you compile perl5 on a different machine or from a different object
directory, copy the Policy.sh file from this object directory to the
new one before you run Configure -- this will help you with most of
the policy defaults.

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
   /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
   Can't test without successful make
Running make install
   make had returned bad status, install seems impossible



this is the output of ./myconfig
