Huh? You are talking about Aladdin StuffIt Expander, right? It should do the job, although I prefer the MacGzip and suntar combo. > >I d/l MacTar, and that didn't help either.

Is that correct? > No, either use the CPAN shell, or the installme.plx droplet. Both are part of the MacPerl 5.6.1r1 distribution. I prefer the installme droplet. After dowloading a module, simply drop the packed archive or the unpacked folder on the droplet. Answer the upcoming question "Convert all text and MacBinary files?" with "Yes". This should install the module properly. Btw, I have just installed MIMI::Lite 2.117 without any problems and your script runs fine here. HTH, Thomas.
