Somehow "$builddir" is not getting set on your box... if you look at
CSCMailInstaller.pl line 6, it should say:

  $builddir = "$ENV{'HOME'}/cscmailbuild";

Which would should (and does for everyone else in the world) set $builddir ==
to /your_home_dir/cscmailbuild"  For some strange reason, it's ending up
undefined...  This is very very odd...

Anyway, follow my origional advice... Grab a copy of cscmail-1.7.9 from
sourceforge, and "make install" it... CSCMailInstaller.pl was written by an
ex-developer of CSCMail, and it sucks anyway... (Re-writing it is one of the
many things that needs to be done prior to a 1.8.0 release...)

You have all the perl modules needed for CSCMail to run anyway... so just get
1.7.x, make install it, then run it... pretty simple.. .you don't NEED
GtkXmHTML for CSCMail to work.. in fact, I don't recommend you use it anymore
anyway... Get GtkHTML or CscHTML instead...  Or, for the quick and easy, just
let it use GtkText which it will do if it can't find an HTML widget ... (1.7.x
will that is.. 1.6.1 isn't that smart)
