The dependencies on CPAN refer to dependencies on other Perl modules, but the module may be dependent on external libraries. In this case it looks like the module is dependent on libpcap and you do not have the library and/or the headers installed. I don't know which flavor of Linux you are using, but you can install the requisite packages with your package manager: sudo apt-get install libpcap libpcap-dev sudo yum install libpcap libpcap-devel sudo emerge something -- Chas.
