From steffejr@UMDNJ.EDU

Hello there,
  I am trying to install the perl software I downloaded.
I downloaded two files​:
  stable_tar.gz
  PerlDoc_tar.gz

So I am trying to use perl5.005_3
I have uncompressed and untarred it.

I am using CorelLinux. When I try to configure perl I get the following
message​:
 
I dont know where 'make' is, and my life depends on it.

I looked on my computer and I do not find the file 'make.'

  So is this a perl problem or a CorelLinux problem?
  Thank you
  Jason.

This is not a perl problem. In order to build perl from the sources,
you need a reasonably complete development environment, including
a C compiler, assembler, linker, and a 'make' program to drive the whole
thing. I suspect such things are readily available in CorelLinux, but you
might just not have installed them yet.

You might also wish to check if CorelLinux supplies a pre-built perl
binary. Most Linux distributions do.

Hope this helps,

For what it's worth the Corel Netwinder DM came with make in /usr/bin/make
it was GNU Make version 3.76.1 for Arm linux. I suspect that "CorelLinux"
is a distribution for Intel PCs though. Usually typing

  which make

or

  whence make

will reveal the full path to the make program.
You might want to try adjusting your $PATH to include the correct
directory. That directory may or may not be /usr/bin on your system.
You might also try (as a next to last resort)​:

  find / -follow -name make -print

If you do not have make on your system you can obtain it in source code
form from a gnu mirror and compile it, or perhaps there is an rpm
package for make to install on your platform already.
