Getopt is a standard module you don't need to install it since it comes with perl itself ...
I saw : "gcc: not found" And it seems that you are on Windows OS ?

Hello All, I an trying to install the getOpt module from CPAN and have been following the Windows95-NT with the core Windows distrubution of Perl. I downloaded and unziped the module and did a perl Makefile.PL in the directory. However when I do a make test I get the following error message: $ make test /usr/bin/perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'b lib/arch')" t/*.t t/gol-basic......t/gol-basic.t is not readable t/gol-compat.....t/gol-compat.t is not readable t/gol-linkage....t/gol-linkage.t is not readable t/gol-oo.........t/gol-oo.t is not readable FAILED--4 test scripts could be run, alas--no output ever seen make: *** [test_dynamic] Error 255 I had tried to download a module earlier and got a similar error message. What does this error mean and it is ignorable or should I not continue with the install until I fix it? A better question is, how is it fixed? I tried to follow the recommendations in perldoc perlmodinstall, but that didn't seem to go well either: $ make perl test make -f Makefile.aperl perl make[1]: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/trina.espinoza/D esktop/GetOpt/Getopt-Long-2.33_02' cd . && gcc -c "-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/CORE" \ -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -fno-strict-aliasing -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O3 \ -DVERSION=\"2.33_02\" \ -DXS_VERSION=\"2.33_02\" "-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/cygwin-multi-64int/CORE" perl main.c gcc: not found make[1]: *** [perlmain.o] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/trina.espinoza/De sktop/GetOpt/Getopt-Long-2.33_02' make: *** [perl] Error 2 $ perl -e "print qq(@INC)"".)
