Using 5.6.1b3, it appears that cpan-mac and installme.plx are broken. I tried to install XML::Parser (for Mac), but if I drop the tarball onto the droplet I get:
# Compression not available File 'Dev:Pseudo'; Line 19 # Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference. File 'HomeSlice:Applications (Mac OS 9):Development Applications:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:Archive:Tar.pm'; Line 708 If I try the expanded folder (expanded using Stuffit, since untarzipme.plx doesn't work either), I get: # Compression not available File 'Dev:Pseudo'; Line 19 # Can't do :Makefile.PL in HomeSlice:Desktop Folder:XML-Parser-2.30-bin56Mac: # No HomeSlice:Desktop Folder:XML-Parser-2.30-bin56Mac: package data. File 'HomeSlice:Applications (Mac OS 9):Development Applications:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:ExtUtils:MM_MacOS.pm'; Line 917 I tried using cpan-mac to find the module/dist, but when I "i XML::Parser" I get: Going to read HomeSlice:Applications (Mac OS 9):Development Applications:MacPerl Ÿ:.cpan:sources:authors:01mailrc.txt.gz # Could pipe[not_here --decompress --stdout HomeSlice:Applications (Mac OS 9):Development Applications:MacPerl Ÿ:.cpan:sources:authors:01mailrc.txt.gz |]: Operation not permitted, <FIN> line 1. File 'HomeSlice:Applications (Mac OS 9):Development Applications:MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 4606 and sometimes tons of SIG PIPE unimplemented (paraphrasing) errors in Net.pm. This is the one installed by cpan-mac, so I would assume that the modules were ported to Mac, but apparently not completely, since signals aren't supported. Have these issues been solved or is there something extra I need to do? Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc. "Leveraging Open Source for a better Internet"
