}make, if I can't get Make to work I am pretty much stuck. Please tell me
}what should I do. I am running this on a Power Mac 7200 With 7.5.3 OS on

You don't run make.  You ignore the installation instructions; they are for
Unix machines only.

I've made a MacPerl ready version of libnet available at
<ftp://mors.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/MacPerl/Scripts/>.  Follow the instructions
in README.libnet.mac in the Stuffit archive, which I hope are clear enough.
Data::Dumper is also there, or you can just grab it from any CPAN archive.
The file named Dumper.pm.NOXSUB is the one you want to use.  Just put it in
a folder named Data in your MacPerl library search path, and remove the
.NOXSUB.  Make sure this file is Mac rather than Unix text.
