I will look into the other errors, but the above is not advised on Mac OS X. ulimit setting has a problem on Mac OS X, and is best removed. (lots of Google hits on this subject). Another thing -- perhaps a prompt would be advised here saying that "We are going to change your Apache conf file, and your Apache server is going to be restarted. Type [restart] to continue, or [cancel the test] to skip the test." The default should be [cancel the test]. > >> In any case, C::A::D did not install under ~/perl, as is evident from >> the above.
