I would love to look into this option as well. Do you have any

procedure to share?

Sure, try the command `cpan` on the command line. I think it is pre- 
installed on the Mac. If not, it is not hard to install.

Here is more info on CPAN;
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/perl/lib/CPAN.html

To install something, i.e. a module. issue this command;
perl -MCPAN -e shell My::Module

Hope that helps, if not, post any questions you have here.

Thanks,

Hi,
I am new to Mac (not to perl). I have a package Net-

which I want to start using but not sure how to make the package
available
on my perl installation.

Have you looked at installing with CPAN?
