EXTERN.h not found

[RMG]

hi all ive been trying to compile a couple of programs lately and they all
fail with the line below saying they cant find EXTERN.h. At first I though
it was a programmatic error but when i saw it a couple of times in
different programs i now hthink its a perl config error

has anyopne seen someting like this before?

I *think* I recall seeing something like that on Mandrake, although it's
been a while. If I remember right, some (but not all) of the Perl headers
were in a separate package, perl-dev or something like that.

Use your package manager (packagedrake?) to see what perl* packages are
available on your install CDs.
