Looks good

Are you sure it said "ExUtils" and not "ExtUtils"?  If so, where did you get this tarball from and what was it called?

Assuming the above is a typo and it did say "ExtUtils" then most likely something went wrong with your unpacking of the tarball and some files are missing from your unpack directory, such as lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm.  Check that the list of files in the directory is the same as the list in the MANIFEST file.  If its not then the problem is in the unpacking.  One common problem is running out of disk space.  Try deleting the unpacked directory and unpack the original tarball again.
