How are you executing the CPAN shell? Are you in the application, or MPW? What commands do you type? >On both machines the install >progresses fine until the MD5 2.20 package is installed. MD5 requires XS. You cannot build XS modules automatically with CPAN.pm on Mac OS. MD5 comes with MacPerl 5.6.1r1, though an older version; it should work fine for you, however. >3.
