This is my first time trying to install a package in Gentoo manually. So please go easy on me.

I downloaded a package, unpackaged it and tried to install it the "usual" way. But the
Code:

 # cd package
# ./configure
# make
# su
# make install

way didn't work.

I opened up the INSTALL file and the instruction reads as:
Code:

On *nix:

    perl Build.PL
    ./Build
    ./Build test    (doesn't do anything right now, no tests defined)
    ./Build install

So I run the first line and got an error:
Code:

# perl Build.PL
Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at Build.PL line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 1.

Some help please?

Also, am I suppose to install the whole thing in su? Or am I suppose to be su only when it comes to ./Build install?
