Hi Dave,

I'm trying to install DateTime on a new RH ES 3.0 box with
perl-5.8.0-88.7 (RH RPM)

I get an error during "perl -MCPAN -e install DateTime" , so I've gone to:

     cpan> look DateTime
     shell# perl Makefile.PL

and I get:

     Testing if you have a C compiler
     Makefile:98: *** missing separator.  Stop.

Looking at Makefile, line 96-100:

     installhtml1dir=''
     installhtml3dir=''
     installman1
     INSTALLSITEBIN = /usr
     INSTALLVENDORBIN = /usr/bin'

So the "installman1" line is invalid.  I also see that there are many
other broken lines with half values (e.g. "/usr/bin/pe") and unclosed
quotes.

Talking to two others on #perl, they tried on their ES 3.0 systems and
had the same problem.

Attached is the Makefile created by "perl Makefile.PL"

Any ideas as to what to look for?

Thanks in advance,
greg.fenton
