Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Text::Template
-- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible


Why the module is not getting installed.
Please suggest me..

Thanks Inadvance,

From what I can tell, primarily from:
http://www.cpanforum.com/threads/502

Do you have make installed? You can run the command 'which make' to see. If you do not, you need to install make, and then try again.

EDIT:

If you DO have make installed, then run: perl -MCPAN -e shell

When the shell pops up, enter: o conf make /usr/bin/make

This may fix it.

I was getting that same type of error. There are two solutions that may solve your problem. The first one is: perl CPAN -e force install Module:Name to force install (not recommended solution). The second is (recommended solution): install it from source. Go to CPAN and there you can find the the zipped source code for your module that you want to install and you can also find the instructions on how to install it.
