I had a lot of problems with this SDK install too, but there is extra information for the installation.
There are a few steps you need to add to the install procedure which aren't covered in the pdf instructions.

Add the instructions on this page to the instructions you found in the PDF and everything should be fine.

THANKS, i was able to install SDK successfully by manually going into CPAN and running the command from there and installing each missing module and re-run vmware-install.pl command again.
