It seems as if there are no Perl sources installed on your system, only the
executeable. Install the sources of Perl and run the command again.

the package is suppose to be device::serialport. i am using mandriva 2007
and have installed almost all of the perl packages available with the same
results. do i need to start all over and reload?

EXTERN.h is part of the Perl interpreter sources. If make does not find it,
it is either in a very unusual location or not installed at all.

No, this would be the approach with another OS. You just need to install the
Perl sources.
