If you don't need or want the UDUNITS Perl extension module, then you
don't need to do anything.

If you do need or want the UDUNTS Perl extension module, then you must
have access to the perl installation.  Either you get your system
administrator to install the UDUNITS package, or you must install your
own perl package and then install the UDUNTS Perl extension module in
it.
