Hi Chas,
Thank you very much for the quick responce.

I am sorry.. I forgot to mention the OS. I am installing it on my UNIX
system. I manually tried to identify the the location of make. I could able
to find the location. When I tried to install the module using cpan.pm shell
on my system, it is not asking for the location again. How can I reconfigure
the cpan.pm shell settings.

How odd. What UNIX are you using (a uname -a will tell you). Either
your PATH is not setup correctly or whoever installed your system left
it broken. You can try running

find /usr -name make

and

find /opt -name make

or if you are desperate

find / -name make

to see if you need to add a directory to your PATH, or (if the find
commands don't find make) you could go bug whoever setup that box and
tell them that it isn't UNIX without make.
