Hi all,

I'm trying to install request tracker (bestpractical.com/rt) and
am having serious problems getting all the perl modules to load
and install.

Here's what I think is going on. It seems to do OK until it needs
Digest-MD5-2.31. It goes and gets it, unpacks it, starts to build,
and Makefile.PL makes a Makefile that is garbage. Probably because
of some lies I told it while running -MCPAN the first time.

I would sincerely appreciate some help on this one.

Here is the output:
[root at alpha rt-3-0-7_01]# perl
sbin/rt-test-dependencies --with-mysql --with-fastcgi --install

Is there some environment variable not set? Is something missing
from some perl configuration file?

I've never used perl nor CPAN before, so pointers to documentation
would be helpful, but it really has to be specific.
