I'm looking for instructions on installing Perl and the CPAN modules on OS X. I'm not a serious Unix hacker, so I'm looking for a simple recipe.
I've tried installing some CPAN modules, and every time I do it, Perl 5.6.1 is downloaded and installed. Or at least, it tried to install. I'm really unclear on what I should be answering to those questions in the installation script. In particular, there is perl stuff in /System/Library/Perl and in /Library/Perl. I don't like overwriting anything in /System. The install script also suggests putting stuff in /Local/Library/Perl and in /Network/Library/Perl, neither of which seems like a good idea to me. I've looked around the perl.org web site, but haven't seen any Mac OS X-specific info. The URL for this list archive is broken. TIA for any help. - Stoney -- Stonewall Ballard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sb.org/stoney/
