Error - Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC

While trying to compile latest version of collectd based metrics monitoring system, I stumbled across the error:

if test ! -d buildperl; then \
      mkdir -p buildperl/Collectd/Plugins; \
      cp ./perl/lib/Collectd.pm buildperl/; \
      cp ./perl/Makefile.PL buildperl/; \
      cp ./perl/lib/Collectd/Unixsock.pm buildperl/Collectd/; \
      cp ./perl/lib/Collectd/Plugins/OpenVZ.pm buildperl/Collectd/Plugins/; \
    fi

Check whether you have set $PERL_MM_OPT in your environment and try using ./configure --with-perl-bindings=""

The solution was simple! I forgot to install perl.

# yum install perl perl-devel

and vola!!
