port install zim fails: can't install p5-file-basedir?

[Derek Schutt]

Dear MacPorts folks,

I'm a new user of mac ports, and have been running into some 
difficulties installing zim.    Here's what is happening:

    $ sudo port install zim
    --->  Computing dependencies for zim
    --->  Dependencies to be installed: p5-file-basedir
    p5-file-desktopentry p5-file-mimeinfo p5-gtk2 p5-cairo
    p5-extutils-depends p5-extutils-pkgconfig p5-glib p5-pango
    p5-module-build p5-cpan-meta-yaml p5-extutils-cbuilder p5-ipc-cmd
    p5-locale-maketext-simple p5-module-load-conditional
    p5-module-corelist p5-module-load p5-params-check p5-version
    p5-extutils-parsexs p5-module-metadata p5-perl-ostype p5-test-simple
    p5-yaml
    --->  Configuring p5-file-basedir
    Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure:
    shell command failed (see log for details)
    Error: Failed to install p5-file-basedir
    Log for p5-file-basedir is at:
    /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-file-basedir/main.log
    Error: The following dependencies were not installed:

    p5-yaml
    Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
    To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>

When I look at the log for the p5-file-basdir, this seems to be where 
things are failing:

    :info:configure shell command " cd
    "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_perl_p5-file-basedir/work/File-BaseDir-0.03"
    && /opt/local/bin/perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor " returned error 2
    :error:configure Target org.macports.configure returned: configure
    failure: shell command failed (see log for details)

But I could really use some expert advice here.    I've installed a 
couple of things successfully, but could it be possible I have somehow 
misconfigured things?

Thanks in advance,

Derek
