ERROR: Can't create '/path/to/proovread/lib/File'

I have a new problem,
I have decompressed the File-Which-0.05.tar.gz,when I run make && make install ,it shows me that ERROR: Can't create '/path/to/proovread/lib/File' (In the File-Which-0.05,there are a small lock in the lower right corner of several file icons)

linux@linux-virtual-machine:~/proovread/File-Which-0.05$ make && make install

The above problem is caused by this problem!
when I run cd proovread && make && make install,it shows me make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/linux/proovread/util/bwa' make: Nothing to be done for 'install'. and then I run cd proovread && make sample ,it have a problem as follows:

linux@linux-virtual-machine:~/proovread$ make sample
bin/proovread --sample --pre sample-results -o --threads 1
Can't locate Log/Log4perl.pm in @inc (you may need to install the Log::Log4perl module) (@inc contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.28.1 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.28 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.28 /usr/share/perl/5.28 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base) at bin/proovread line 11.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at bin/proovread line 11.
make: *** [Makefile:32: sample] Error 2

So,follow the prompts,I decompressed the File-Which-0.05.tar.gz ,then there is a problem: ERROR: Can't create '/path/to/proovread/lib/File'

You need to substitute "/path/to/proovread/" with the actual path on your system.

Oh，Thank you very much！ The first problem have been solved(altough I copy whicm.pm to the file ),but the second problem does not seem to have been solved when I run cd proovread && make sample

[Hulanyue]

Thank you ,thackl !
I think that I have solved the problem 'Log:Log4perl'.
I use cpan to install Log:Log4perl ,and when I run make sample , it at least won't make that mistake again.

Changing PREFIX to my path after cding into proovread just gives me the error that it cannot do anything because it is the same directory.

mkdir -p /scratch/myname/src/proovread
cp -drT /scratch/myname/src/proovread 
/scratch/myname/src/proovread
cp: ‘/scratch/myname/src/proovread’ and 
‘/scratch/myname/src/proovread’ are the same file
make: *** [install] Error 1

If I try installing this on my MACOSX it just fails at make because it uses malloc.h and I don't know enough coding to know what to change there or install for that to work.
It says to change it to the path where proovread is so...I am confused

[kdbchau]

What exactly goes into PREFIX. Is it the bath to the proovread directory or am I supposed to have it create a new directory (in which case when I tried that it literally makes the same files that already exist after git cloning).
