Module Installation Error

I know just enough Perl, obviously, to get into trouble.

I'm trying to install the libwww module, which requires a host of other modules, including the HTML-Parser module, which I'm trying to install version 3.25.

Makefile.PL throws this message:

# perl Makefile.PL
Processing hints file hints/solaris.pl
Turning off optimizations to avoid compiler bug
Warning: prerequisite HTML::Tagset 3 not found at (eval 1) line 220.
Writing Makefile for HTML::Parser

And then when I try the make statement, I get:

# /usr/ccs/bin/make
gcc -B/usr/ccs/bin/ -c -I/usr/local/include -DVERSION=\"3.25\" -DXS_VERSI
ON=\"3.25\" -fPIC -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.00503/sun4-solaris/CORE -DMARKED_SECT
ION Parser.c
sh: gcc: not found
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `Parser.o'

Obviously, I need to get HTML::Tagset 3...can't find it at CPAN...anyone know where I can get it and will this solve the fatal error being thrown by the make command?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you can't find a module on CPAN, (it happens once in a while, or it'll be filed in a strange place or have a name-change) the next step is to do a google search for it.

Are you sure you don't have libwww already installed? I though that was part of a standard perl install. (I don't know about 5.00503 for solaris, though.)

Is there any reason you aren't using CPAN to install modules? It's really easy to use, and makes module installation a breeze, usually.
