sudid cpan, with the .cpan file under /usr/local/share/perl. (Is  
that reasonable?)


Tried to install WWW:Curl from the cpan prompt. At the make test

in different files, and cpan kindly refuses to complete the  
install. 105 out of 108 failed. I don't see any other errors.


I'm debating doing a parallel install of the latest curl into /usr/ 
local/bin.


Anyone have a better suggestion?


Just for the record, I did try a parallel install of curl, with the  
same results.


Tried contacting the author, as Ken suggested, no response yet.

It looks like WWW::Curl isn't happy under 5.8.7.  That's a compile-time 
error, so it's never even getting off the ground.


Definitely not related to CPAN, or Mac Mini, or 10.4.2.

Best bet is to report this to the author of WWW::Curl.
