The above seems to show a problem with your perl installation.  You need
a good perl installation in order to install the UDUNITS perl module.  I
suggest that you show the above messages to your system administrator or
someone who knows about perl.

To build and install the UDUNITS package without the perl module, do the
following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Perform steps 3 through 5 described near the end of the file
    INSTALL.

    3.  Set the environment variable PERL to the empty string, e.g.

            export PERL=

        or

            setenv PERL ''

        depending on your user shell.

    4.  Perform steps 6 through 9 described near the end of the file
    INSTALL.

Please let me know if this helps.
