Mandrake 7.2 With Perl

Hey, I am a newbie to Linux and I'm trying to set up Perl.5.6.1, the stable.tar.gz from http://cpan.org/src/ on a Linux mandrake 7.2 system. I read the INSTALL file and it says to inatall it with this:

rm -f config.sh Policy.sh
sh Configure -de
make
make test
make install

I got up to sh Configure -de and it says it can't find "make" so the make command turns up "bash: command not found" It says I need to edit my PATH settings or find a public domain implemetation. By the way its unzipped to a directory I made called /Web and I'm on as root. Can someone help me please? Thanks for your time.

If you can't find the make command, it's in "/usr/bin"
To add "/usr/bin" to your PATH env variable, type: "PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin; export PATH"

Ok, I tried fixing the path how you said, and I still get command not found. I checked in /usr/bin and there's no make file. Do you know how I can get it? Thanks again.

try "locate make" maybe you'll find it somewhere else.
As for getting the make command if you don't have it, I don't know how.
