Perl 5.6.1 was released before Mac OS X, so it doesn't account for OS X's quirks. Thus, it is a bit cranky about installing on Mac OS X, but it can be done. See: http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00150.html http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00895.html http://duke.usask.ca/~dalglb/macosx/Perl_5.6.html The upcoming Perl 5.8.0 will build on Mac OS X without any problems. - geoff
