John,

I've never used OSX but it would go like this:

1) Install the perl module Parse::RecDescent as follows:
   a) Logon as root and enter the following command
   b) perl -MCPAN -e shell
   c) If you've never run a CPAN shell on that host you will get a
      question about manually configuring CPAN, you can answer "N"
      to let perl attempt to autoconfig
   d) You will then get a CPAN shell prompt 
   e) cpan> install Parse::RecDescent
   f) You will see a lot of download and install activity scroll by,
      followed by the "cpan>" prompt, enter "quit" to exit.

2) Extract and run the FreeBilling v.02 programs
   a) Logon as a non-root user and change to directory holding the
      FreeBv.02.tar.gz file
   b) Extract the FreeBv.02.tar.gz archive with tar as follows:
   c) tar -xzvf FreeBv.02.tar.gz
   d) cd FreeBv.02
   e) ./go.sh
   f) ./out.pl
   g) ./out.pl > anyfile.txt   {to capture the output to a file}

Most of this is in the README file that is in the archive, but it's
not really step by step.

Hope this helps,
Ron
