[ale] Perl question

Hi all-

OK, so trying to get t-prot installed but appears there is an issue with
a missing Perl module/component.  New to Perl and cpan, so bear with me.

When I try to read a message in mutt with t-prot installed and sourced,
I get the following error when trying to read a message:

Fetching message...Can't locate Locale/gettext.pm in @INC (@INC
contains: /Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level
/Library/Perl/5.12 /Network/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level

/System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.12 .) at /usr/local/bin/t-prot line 1123.
Could not copy message

So looks like I'm missing Locale/gettext.pm.  When I search for this on
the cpan search page, I get Locale::gettext (what I assume I need).

When I try to install with 'sudo cpan Locale::gettext' I get:

Going to read '/Users/trey/.cpan/Metadata'

  /usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
  Make had some problems, won't install

Looks like the above suggest I should install 'libintl' which appears to
be provided by Log::Report::Translator::Gettext  (which is already
installed)

So...I'm at a loss.

Any help greatly appreciated.
