testdeps (the script itself, I never managed to do it through make) does
understand the parameter "-fix" to do it all by itself. tryp ./sbin/testdeps
-fix mysql (or whatever you are using as dbm)

interesting way to scan for CPAN modules. Let me introduce you into another
way:

perl -MCPAN -e shell;

Search for Modules:
i /CGI::Cookie/

CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
  Database was generated on Wed, 21 Aug 2002 19:52:04 GMT
Module id = CGI::Cookie
    CPAN_USERID  LDS (Lincoln D. Stein <lstein at cshl.org>)
    CPAN_VERSION 1.20
    CPAN_FILE    L/LD/LDS/CGI.pm-2.81.tar.gz
    MANPAGE      CGI::Cookie - Interface to Netscape Cookies
    INST_FILE    /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/CGI/Cookie.pm
    INST_VERSION 1.20

You want to install CGI.pm (or try "install CGI::Cookie"). Same goes for the
other modules.

If you see a message that states that there is a newer version of CPAN,
install it first - otherwise it may try to update your perl as well which
sometimes breaks the system.
