Consistently running into errors when installing rpms with cpan.

cpan> install Bundle::DBI

Everything i try to install returns the error provided below, i'm logged in as root, even went as far as to chmod /usr/bin/make to 777.

drwxrwxrwx 2 root wheel 68 Mar 11 06:03 make

-----------------------

Can't exec "/usr/bin/make": Permission denied at /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/CPAN.pm line 4566.
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
