Win32::IsWinNT missed

I tried to install via 'cpan' the Win32::OLE package in my Ubuntu
machine.
I obtained the following error:

........
Writing Makefile for Win32::ODBC
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Win32::OLE

subroutine &Win32::IsWinNT called at ./Makefile.PL line 7.
Running make test
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, maybe interrupted? Won't install

-----------------

How can I get out of this? Why do I receive this error about
Win32::IsWinNT?
What strategy should I follow?

Thanks in advance,

That's what I expected to read.
Actually, I'm looking for a way that allows me to create a Word file
(or an RTF) under Linux, and I was hoping to use this module of perl
for it. As I see, it uses Windows libraries and cannot be run under
Linux.

Can you suggest me a workaround, for example a way to create RTF files
in perl?
I need to create three simple columns in that doc, or a table is good
too.

Thanks and bye,

What is? Oh, you quoted the entire original, below your reply. Please
don't do that. Trim the post to the relevant bits, and post your new
text below it.

Odd, when I search CPAN for 'RTF', this is one of the first results:
http://search.cpan.org/~sburke/RTF-Writer-1.11/lib/RTF/Writer.pod

I wonder why it didn't turn up for you.

Right suggestion, sorry for my mistake, I was inattentive.

Thank you very much for the link.

Very interesting question. Please investigate, and let me know the
answer ASAP!
