Re: Can't find Mac::Growl
Yes, that error I got was while trying to install Mac::Glue. I have the standard 5.8.6 in the standard place but have also had to install 5.8.8 for another reason. They should not be clashing; 5.8.8 is normally used, but #!/usr/bin/perl still points to 5.8.6 I don't really need 5.8.8, as I was experimentally trying to use some other module(s) when it was added. I do not use the new module(s) or need 5.8.8, but am not sure how to remove it. Having said all that, your saying 5.8.6 has Mac::Glue already there, and if so, maybe part of my solution would be to downgrade to 5.8.6? I am getting good with Perl but, holistically, I have some way to go with CPAN, etc. David On 25 Aug, 2008, at 20:32, Robert Grimm wrote: It looks like you need to install Mac::Glue. Are you using some Perl distribution other than the standard one that comes with OS X? Mac::Glue was there for me, but my system doesn't have anything in / opt. I'm having a similar, but much worse issue right now. I can't install any modules. Every time I try to install anything with CPAN, I get that error on ExtUtils::MakeMaker, which won't install because it isn't there.

Re: Can't find Mac::Growl
Hi David,
WetMogwai's problem has to do with installation, if you do not
experience that problem, the following should work out of the box:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Mac::Growl qw(:all);
RegisterNotifications(__PACKAGE__, ['test'], ['test']);
PostNotification(__PACKAGE__, 'test', 'test', 'hello world');
exit 0;
Documentation:
#Locally

Hello WetMogwai,
How do you invoke the CPAN module? and how come you think CPAN
attempts to write to /var/root/perl/lib/perl5/Extras/5.8.8/?

Re: Can't find Mac::Growl
I found a partial solution. If you open the CPAN shell and type:
o conf makepl_arg install_base=
it will install working modules. This is a partial solution because it
has to be done with each session. It doesn't work to run cpan non-
interactively. It forgets this setting when the CPAN shell is closed.
I have not yet found where it gets the default value for this
variable.
Now, I'm off on a search to find why I get an error from Growl.pm on a
variable that it is getting from itself, but that's a topic for a
different thread.

You can set that in your CPAN config I guess:
