much PMs needed :( is there any package that Makefile.pl depends on? I searched and failed :(

While installing QTcore source package, I met this error: Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i386-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at Makefile.PL line 2. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 2.

I was trying to get it to work with Qt 4.4.0, which apparently doesn't work. I compiled with Qt 4.3.5, which compiles, but it doesn't seem like all the features are there. $widget->{children} always seems to return an empty array, and $listView->selectionModel() causes a segfault.

It seems like QGraphicsWidget is missing from the typemap in QtGui-4.004. I added it, but now I'm stuck: g++ -c -I/toast/misc/jets/cburel/apps/Qt-4.4.0/include -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DTHREADS_HAVE_PIDS -DDEBUGGING -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
