Problems installing Event.pm

[Bruce Van Allen]

Has anyone successfully installed Event.pm on darwin's Perl? I have OS X 10.2.4, with Perl 5.6.1 replacing Apple's install of 5.6.0. I need Event for Net::Z3950.

Poking around, I've found that Event.pm has problems installing on Windows.

The installation (via CPAN; also tried via CPANPLUS) fails for me because all tests return 'dubious' ('dyld: /usr/bin/perl Undefined symbols:
_PERL_UNUSED_VAR'), and then it sighs, 'alas--no output ever seen'.

Not at all clear to me whether this would be due to my system's config, intricacies I haven't learned with CPAN, or some obtuseness of Event.pm itself (or its tests).

Any suggestions?
