Re: make command not found
Did you read the INSTALLATION section in the README file?:

You can install the Image::ExifTool package to make it available for use by other Perl scripts by typing the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Notes: i) You need root access for the last step above. ii) Some Perl installations (like the standard OSX installation) may not contain the necessary files to complete the first step above. But no worries: You can install ExifTool manually by moving 'exiftool' and the 'lib' directory to any directory in your current PATH (ie. /usr/bin). iii) In Windows, the "nmake" utility may be downloaded from Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q132084 -- Type "nmake" instead of "make" in the commands above if using this utility.

Also, it would be helpful to know what system you are using.

Re: make command not found
try this:

perl Makefile.PL gmake gmake test sudo gmake install

You may need to type in your password for the last step.
