I started up and configured cpan and tried to install SDL, and it wouldn't install. It didn't give me any notices on dependencies or anything. Is anyone out there familiar with SDL perl module?

Here is what the prompt says:

/usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" Build.PL Build
Base class package "Module::Build" is empty.
    (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package first.)
 at make/lib/SDL/Build.pm line 9
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at make/lib/SDL/Build.pm line 9.
Compilation failed in require at Build.PL line 11.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Build.PL line 11.
make: *** [Build] Error 255
  /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Maybe someone can help me. Thanks.
