Can anyone give me some advice here. I never did get a an answer to earlier
questions. You can see those below. Therefore I went and downloaded the
source and did the following:
perl makefile.pl
make
make test
make demo
I did all these except "make install". All 4 of these checked out find and
had no issues. Do you guys think I should go ahead and tell CPAN to force
the installation of these modules? whats your advice?

sorry, Yes it is installed. I'm running SuSE 9.0 and have perl-GD, gd, and
gd-devel installed.
thanks

Hi Marshall,
Can you please confirm if GD is already installed on your system.
Because this is a prerequisite and without installing GD, GD::TextUtil
can't be installed.
