When you are installing/building the SVN version, it wont have  
Module::Install embedded into it yet, so you need to install  
Module::Install from CPAN first:

$> sudo cpan Module::Install

(or replace that with what ever packaging system you usually use to  
install perl modules on your system.

Then try running the Makefile.PL from trunk again.
