Hi, Thank you for the very informative response Alan. I think the problem is probably to do with my Perl install. I looked in /System/Library/Perl/ but the Perl folder contained 5.8.6 not 5.8.8. I could not find any of the following: Fcntl HTML HTTP LWP I previously installed some

OS X 10.4 shipped with 5.8.6, which is what he has. I think some of the misunderstanding is from Terrence's inexperience with perl. Terrence, the modules you're missing aren't missing because you don't have a full version of perl. They're probably missing because they weren't included in

Is it possible that some perl modules are not installed until Apple's developer tools are installed? -- -- A fair tax is one that you pay but I don't --

No, Ultimately unless you know for sure the module is installed by testing to see if it exists I would assume it needs to be installed. Apple's developer tools will need to be installed (or mac ports) if you want to compile and build tools, or in this case perl modules. This is just standard

Hi, Thanks to all who have responded. I have tried Packy Anderson suggestion but I found that some modules stated that they only come as part of Perl 5.10.1. If I try to install them, it seem that they want to be installed in a location other than that which I have specified. I have Perl

Hi Doug, Thanks for the info, but I think this possibly way out side my level of experience. Would what you have suggested allow get_iplayer find the path to Perl 5.10.1 when I try to run get_iplayer from the terminal? If it does then I don't fully understand your instructions. I assume

Hi, Thanks for replying Andrew. I don't fully understand what Perl does but if Perl comes installed with OSX it appears that I also have an install of Perl via MacPorts. I assume that get_iplayer is looking at the preinstalled Perl but I am not sure. Although I am no expert, I have used
