no makefile created when attempting to compile perl 5.6.1 on mac os x

Well, after running sh Configure -des, I typed make , but no makefile
was created. Does anyone know what I need to do to get perl 5.6.1
compiled under Mac OS X? Also, I want to be sure to create a libperl.a
as some extra software for Perl I am using requires that this be
built.

Thanks a lot.
