Thanks, I am running Ubuntu hardy. I just ran apt-get install tk, that seemed to not be installed before, and went fine. I still get the error in cpam. It seems that Tie::Watch was partially installed before, and now somehow gets stuck. Here is my entire command at the cpan promt: cpan[1]> install Tie::Watch CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18) Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Sun, 15 Jun 2008 19:33:30 GMT CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.66) Going to read /root/.cpan/build/ ............................................................................DONE Found 28 old builds, restored the state of 28 Running install for module 'Tie::Watch' Running make for S/SR/SREZIC/Tk-804.028.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory /root/.cpan/build/Tk-804.028-r9jDlm '/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site' returned status 512, won't make Running make test Make had some problems, won't test Running make install Make had some problems, won't install Maybe I should delete the unwrapped file at /root/.cpan/build/ What should be my next step?
