Perl module support

Hi, I've just started to install a perl program I run for house automation onto my Bubba2. It has generated alot of errors and I'd like some guidance please. Rather than put the errors here I thought it might be simpler to show the commands I'm issuing.

First: There was no make and no FTP on the Bubba2 so I installed them with APT. That was easy.
Second: tried to follow this list of installs. I tried Tk and ReadKey, as they are not dependant on each other. I suspect it is just that I need to install more packages with APT but I've not had this problem with other distros. Tk complained about LibX11.so.
>su root
>perl -MCPAN -eshell
cpan> install Tk
cpan> install Tk::JPEG
cpan> install Tk::CursorControl
cpan> install DB_File
cpan> install Term::ReadKey
cpan> install Time::HiRes
cpan> install Audio::Mixer (if on Linux)
cpan> install GD
cpan> install Text::LevenshteinXS
cpan> install DBI (if you want to interface to a database server)
cpan> install DBD::mysql (if you want to interface with a mysql server)
cpan> exit

regards, robin
