New to the list... Been trying to resolve some problems I am hitting when installing Perl 5.6.x on two different macs (one is a g3/500 powerbook with OS9.2.2, the second a beige g3 with an upgrade g4/500 running 8.6 - a busy server).
In both cases, I started with a fresh install of 5.6.x. Once completed, I've tried running the CPAN shell (giving it the 'no' answer for automatic config), and then issue: 'install Bundle::CPAN'. On both machines the install progresses fine until the MD5 2.20 package is installed. a. On the g3/500, perl dies at the end of the make procedure just before installing the package b. On the g4/500, perl freezes and takes down the whole server. My question: 1. Has anyone seen this? 2. Is there a way to skip the MD5 install and still issue the 'install Bundle::CPAN' command (to update what's needed) 3. Am I better off just skipping the use of this Bundle all together Thanks for any input. Yonatan.
