I can download from cpan, but everything seems to crash & burn at the last minute.

I get up to "Checking if your kit is complete. Looks good" and then I
get:
Writing Makefile for [whatever] -- NOT OK
Running make test.
Can't test without successful make.
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

'which make' doesn't turn up anything.

What am I doing wrong?
Well, if make is missing things will not work. You have to install the make at least and other missing programs on you eeePC.
