VAAST (Variant Annotation, Analysis and Search Tool)

Hello, I have been trying to install VAAST on my computer and I was not able. On my MAC I am receiving this message:

Please check, if the URLs I found in your configuration file
(http://cpan.netnitco.net/, http://cpan.mirror.clemson.edu/,
http://soft-download.org/) are valid. The urllist can be edited. E.g. with
'o conf urllist push ftp://myurl/'
Could not fetch authors/01mailrc.txt.gz

I have tried to install it on Linux as well, and on Linux, I am getting these errors:

Ubuntu:~/Desktop/VAAST_Code_2.2.0/$ perl Build.PL

        Can't open perl script "Build.PL": No such file or directory
  
Ubuntu:~/Desktop/VAAST_Code_2.2.0/$ perl --version

This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 1 (v5.26.1) build for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
...

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thank you

Likely off-topic for Biostars. More suited to Stack Overflow.

I will mention that your perl call on Linux is simply telling you that 'Build.PL' doesn't exist in your working directory. build.pl/Build.pl/Build.PL/build.PL matter here. I'd recommend following an introductory tutorial for the MacOS/Linux command line.
