How do you install perl modules in OSX?

From what I have read elsewhere, you start out by typing:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test

this however does not work for me. I get an error saying.
Can't open perl script "Makefile.PL": No such file or directory

I have installed the developer tools, but I cant find Makefile.PL anywhere. How do I get this to work?

usually...

cd /to/the/directory
./configure or perl Makefile.PL
make
make install
might need to sudo those makes

or

perl -MCPAN -e shell, mess about with the settings a bit
install Bundle::CPAN
install things direct from there
