I'm a newbie to Perl on *nix and am in the process of converting from MacPerl to OSX and I've just recently downloaded the developer tools for OSX10.2 because I was under the impression that they're necessary to really use Perl on OSX (i.e. to use CPAN, Camel Bones, etc). But installing the packages'll take nearly a gig which is more space than I have on my startup partition; so I'm wondering if they really are necessary to use Perl?
Second question: If I need them I'll need to repartition my disk which means that I'll loose all my playlists on iTunes. I'm wondering if there's any way to conserve them --the actual playlists, not just the list of song ID#s that's in the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file-- and if not, what would be a good general idea for a perl approach. I get the impression that Mac::Glue might be of use for the perl approach, but I've never been able to get it to install properly and I doubt the MacPerl version could talk with the OSX program (could it?).
