I've been running X for a couple of weeks now, and decided to get going with
installing some extra Perl modules so I could start doing stuff with XML... First I
couldn't get the CPAN module to talk to the outside world (problems with being sat on
a NAT'd network), but I sorted that and then realised that CPAN was attempting to
install 5.6.1, after the first time it failed I checked around the archives, found the
instructions for building it yourself, and then proceeded. I downloaded the 5.6.1
tarball, and did the pre-configure steps, but then on running configure at the
kit-checking stage it reported that my kit wasn't complete and I shouldn't proceed:
> First let's make sure your kit is complete. Checking...
> ls: lib/unicode/In/CJKUnifiedIdeographsExtensionA.pl: No such file or
> directory
> ls: lib/unicode/In/IdeographicDescriptionCharacters.pl: No such file
> or directory
> ls: lib/unicode/In/UnifiedCanadianAboriginalSyllabics.pl: No such file
> or directory
>
> THIS PACKAGE SEEMS TO BE INCOMPLETE.
>
> You have the option of continuing the configuration process, despite

> If you do, don't blame me if something goes wrong. I advise you to

>
> Continue? [n]
I proceeded anyway... the make went fine (or so it seemed) but make test causes a
(reproducible) Kernel panic!
In short, do I have a duff package, or is it more serious than that... I'm running
10.0.4 on an Indigo iBook with 192MB Ram...
