Re: Installing Perl from a Package

[Vic Norton]

Here's what worked for me, Huw. (Well, not for getting Perl. I'm 
using Apple's 5.8.0 version on Panther.)

0. If Developer Tools (for 10.2.x) or XCode (for 10.3.x) isn't installed,
   install it.
1. Go to
      http://darwinports.opendarwin.org/docs/ch01s03.html
   and follow the instructions to install DarwinPorts.
2. After you have installed DarwinPorts the (terminal) command
      port list
   will show you available ports.
3. You want perl 5.8.1. The command
      sudo port perl5.8
   will install perl 5.8.1 in /opt/local/.
Regards,

Vic

Hi there,

Anyone know how I can install Perl onto a Mac OS X system from a Package.
I've made a horrible mess of my installation and want to rip it out and
start again using a tried and tested package handler.
