Firs off Umbuntu does make a difference. Ive never had more trouble
with any other linux distro.

Try this first

perl -CPAN -e "install __Package__"

$ perl -CPAN -e "install __Package__"
Unknown Unicode option letter 'P'.

By the way, I'm asking again since I didn't get an answer before:
doesn't perl have a default directory to install 3rd party modules,
such as /your_python_root_dir/site-packages in python, so that I can
inspect it manually ?

let CPAN do its thing. If anything fails along the road, make, or
really the make tests. Check the errors, and besure that you have the
modules prerequisits. Though in most Cases CPAN will get those too.

Ubuntu is a dektop version of linux, and Unfortinatly isnt really
friendly to the perl hacker. I would normally recomend installing a
different distro, but lets work though your module problem first.

Use CPAN to get your module. or IF by chance you should have an
activestate build of Perl. use ppm install __Package__

and if your using ubuntu's default install of perl. Go get perl 5.8.8
and install from source. buntu's prl install is all kinds of weird.

Thanks for the advice, but I don't really think I'll change my whole
system or become a perl hacker because an irc client won't install. I'm
happy with Ubuntu (or rather, least frustrated compared to the
alternatives I've checked out) so I'm staying with it, or something
similar such as SimplyMepis.
