If the environment variable PERL is not set to the empty string before
the "configure" script is executed, then the "make install" will
try to install the Perl extension module for UDUNITS into the perl
installation.  This process must have the necessary write permissions
in order to do this.  Typically, this step is done by the root user.
If you can become the root user, then do so and re-execute the "make
install".

If you can't become the root user and don't want or need the Perl
extension module for UDUNITS, then

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

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

    3.  Ensure that the environment variable PERL is set 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.
