--As of Friday, July 8, 2005 8:56 PM -0400, Lola Lee is alleged to have said:

I finally heard back from the module owner of WWW::Search, and here's
what he had to say:


   Please accept my apologies, I don't get much time to work on my Perl
Modules these days...
   The errors you are seeing are actually caused by a bug in Pod::Parser
(I reported it to the author LONG time ago but no reply).  You can
install the distro and use it just fine despite these errors.
   In the Makefile.PL is a workaround for Unix-like systems (using cat
and dos2unix).  Does MacOS come with cat and dos2unix "command-line"
utilities?  If so, what are they called?  And what is the value of $^O?
(darwin I think?)
   If the answer is no, I'll look into some other way of doing the
equivalent of dos2unix in my Makefile.PL code...  (suggestions welcome!)


So, what is the answer to his questions?  I'll pass these on to him.
Thanks!

--As for the rest, it is mine.

Darwin comes with cat, and is called 'darwin'. (At least on my Darwin-8.0.1 system.) It does *not* come with dos2unix: this bit me once already. (It does compile just fine though.)
