That's old. Did you say you have OS X 10.2? >(Trying "install Bundle::libnet", among other things, attempted an >install of Perl 5.8.4 - I'm not certain if it was successful, but I Oh, there's a hint. There was a version of CPAN.pm in early Jaguar that would force an install of the latest Perl. Not what you want. I think the immediate solution was to install a newer CPAN (but not Bundle::CPAN). Search this list -- lots of talk over a year ago... >Any other ideas? Do I blank out the ~/.cpan directory? How do I >determine that the Developer Tools took?

I've installed Dev Tools routinely since the Public Beta, so I don't know what it's like without them, but it seems like I first tested them using Terminal, running tools and Perl code from the command line... Could you reinstall your system, maybe upgraded to later Jaguar, and get a later version of the Developer Tools? And if you want a later version of Perl, DO NOT replace the system's Perl -- again, search this list for discussion. (I'm assuming you have a reason not to buy Panther, w/ Perl 5.8.1.) Then start fresh with cpan, beginning with its own config. HTH 1; - Bruce __bruce__van_allen__santa_cruz__ca__
