I've newly installed 10.2 and perl 5.8. Being quite new to this kind of thing, I followed the instructions at
http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/perl.html to the letter. All was well, until I tried to install Bundle::CPAN in the cpan shell. I don't know if its relevant, but I was unsure how to answer the first configuration question. It prompted that I had a cpan directory in my home directory. I do, but I hadn't actually used it successfully before (because I didn't have developer tools installed before now). I choose to use this, and chose the default answers to all other configuration questions. But the problem came when I tried to install Bundle::CPAN. It seemed to go ok for a while, but then ... tar: Failed open to read on y/sources/authors/id/A/AN/ANDK/CPAN-1.63.tar.gz <No such file or directory> Couldn't opendir y/build/ANDK000: No such file or directory at /Library/Perl/CPAN.pm line 4873 I'm not sure what to do next. I've excerpted quite a lot from my terminal below - hopefully this will be clear to someone with more experience.
