Hi, Shlomi.
Thanks for the info. I'm loathe to mess with System Perls (I made that
mistake about seven or eight years ago & don't want to repeat it) & was just
thinking of going ahead with your first example as I've done on OS X &
configuring cpan to use that.
I'll also look at perlbrew as I hadn't considered that. I use MacPorts on
the Mac box for similar stuff & had discounted using it there because of
potential conflicts.
Once again, thanks.
Cheers,
Phil...
