OSX 10.6 "make" command not working

Question

I've worked on this problem for a few days and couldn't find any solution even after reading several other blogs.

Whenever I try to install modules using CPAN, these installs fail since 'make' errors.

cpan[1]> install Clone

cpan[2]>    

After I had to replaced my hard drive recently, I had to re-install Xcode but even after that, the make command didn't work. Uninstalling Xcode and installing GCC compiler instead didn't help. make is in /usr/bin/ and that directory is in my PATH, and make and GCC run when run without arguments, but the CPAN installer still can't find it when I'm trying to install a module.

After removing the contents of the CPAN build directory, trying to install a module still crashes at "make".

    cpan[2]> install Clone

I've already updated perl, CPAN, and Module::Build. I'm thinking the next step is to upgrade to 10.7, 10.8, or 10.9 and try to reinstall Command Line Tools straight from Apple.

Thoughts?

I had to re-install Xcode but even after that, the make command didn't work...

Install Command Line tools. Open Xcode, and then go to Xcode → Preferences → Downloads.
