You don't run make.  If the module does not come with an extension that
needs to be compiled, then you just drag and drop the module(s) in the
proper place in your path.  For example, the CGI module would go in your
lib directory or another directory in your Library Preferences.  But
Mac::Apps::Anarchie would go in the lib:Mac:Apps directory.

If extensions (.xs) need to be compiled, you have to do some
porting/compiling, so I bid you the best of luck.
