I'm trying to install DBI and DBD and am running into problems.


Using cpan-mac (properly installed, as far as I can tell) and MacPerl
5.6.1a2 I'm getting the following error when dropping
DBI-1.08-bin-2-MacOS.tar.gz on installme.plx:


Compression not available at Dev:Pseudo line 19
Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at Proust:Desktop
Folder:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:Archive:Tar.pm line 708.



line 708 is the last line of this sub:


sub read {
     my ($self, $file) = @_;

     $self->{_data} = [];

     $self->{_handle} = gensym;
     open $self->{_handle}, ref ($file) ? "<&". fileno ($file) : "<" . $file
        or goto &_drat;

     $self->{_data} = _read_tar (_get_handle ($self->{_handle}),
                                  sysseek $self->{_handle}, 0, 1);
     return scalar @{$self->{_data}};
}


Sorry if this is a stupid question, but my experience with Macperl is
less than   my experience with perl on *nix...
