You're apparently trying to install the POE::Component::IRC module. However,
first you need to install the POE module. Get it from cpan.org, or use
'cpan POE' to install it. Then restart the POE::Component::IRC module
installation.

Thanks for your help. I did have POE installed but what the problem
was is the POE install is installing itself to the lesser version of
perl i had installed. I deleted the lesser version of perl and then
reinstalled and it works. My problem is i dont understand how linux
keeps lesser versions instead of upgrading them.

linux doesn't. Your distribution might.

Just make sure the perl executable you use to run Makefile.PL is the
one you want the module installed for, and all should work out fine.
At least it has in my experience (I have two perl versions installed,
the system one and my own install that is actually from this
century)...
