This is just an FYI, but I seem to recall back when I
was first trying to install Mac::Glue there was some
problem with cpan.pm not following the prerequisites
and installing them as it usually does.
Each time I tried installing it, it failed saying I
need X module, so I installed X and retried until
eventually it went through fine. It did always tell me
what I needed. I'm not sure why cpan might fail to
follow the prereqs (I've never had the problem with
any other module and I haven't ever changed my
configuration), but there could be some weird conflict
going on.
More recently when upgrading those prereqs I got a
similar thing, but this time it was a newer version of
a prereq than I had that was needed; I don't know if
cpan will usually follow specific-version
dependencies.
