Problem with v5.8 & CPAN

I'm not certain that this made it out the first time. My apologies if
I am repeating myself.
I am running Perl v5.8.0 on OS X 2.6 and using tcsh as my shell. I
have used cpan to successfully install several modules; however, for
some modules (e.g., Tk, & PDL) I encounter what seems to be a shell
related problem. At the point where the Makefiles start executing and
there is an attempt to change to a subdirectory I get the following
fatal error (this one was for PDL):
/bin/sh: cd: Basic: No such file or directory
make: *** [subdirs] Error 1
/usr/bin/make -- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
What seems to be happening is that the "cd" command doesn't work within
the Makefile. I can execute "cd Basic" manually then type "make" and
it works fine. I know that "cd" is a built-in shell command as opposed
to "awk," for example, which is an executable at /usr/bin/awk. Does
anyone know how to fix this? The strange thing is that when I was
using Perl 5.6 I had no problem installing PDL and Tk. Thanks for any
help with this.
