Hi,
Thanks for your excellent response, makes installing so easy
assuming I did it correctly.
I think everything that was required is installed, but I am not
sure everything was installed
in the right location.
It appears that Perl 5.10.1 was installed and all the modules I
installed are associated with
Perl 5.10.1. When I try to run the get_iplayer PVR module I get
the following error:
Can't locate loadable object for module HTML::Parser in @INC (@INC
contains: /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level
(I have abbreviated the error message)
And when I enter perl -v I get the following:
This is perl, v5.8.8 built for darwin-2level
So the system does not see the Perl 5.10.1 install. Can someone
please tell me if there is a
was to install the modules so they relate to perl, v5.8.8, or
point get_iplayer to use Perl 5.10.1.
I suspect that Apple's perl is 5.8.8 and it is installed in /usr/
bin. It needs to stay there because Apple's updates may depend on
it. Installing 5.10.1 in /usr/bin/ replacing 5.8.8 is not recommended.
FWIW, OS X 10.4 had perl 5.8.6 (10.5 had 5.8.8, and 10.6 has 5.8.9 and
5.10.0). The above 5.8.8 is in /opt, and has the architecture-
specific subdirectory darwin-2level, so that is definitely *not* the
standard Apple one from any release.
Running:
% which perl
will tell which perl is the default. I'm guessing the perl script
uses something like:
#! /usr/bin/env perl
and so it is finding your default perl. Changing this line to point
to your 5.10.1 perl, or changing your PATH environment variable so
that the first directory is where your 5.10.1 perl is, should fix this
problem.
