Is there a cpan-shell? I noticed the installme etc droplets that were installed with the distribution, but no cpan. I didn't see any info in the readme's. >> I tried using cpan-mac to find the module/dist, but when I "i XML::Parser" I >> get: > > You shouldn't do that, it won't work. You need the binary installation. For XML::Parser, certainly. I wasn't certain whether the proper binary distro could be found by cpan, and it doesn't (usually) hurt to try ;-) Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc. "Leveraging Open Source for a better Internet"
