You'll need to have write permission into the location you are trying to install to. So if you did: perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/System/Library/Perl/ You'll need write permission in /System/Library/Perl. Not being a Mac OS X user, is /System/Library/Perl the default library location? --------------------------------- Frank Wiles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://frank.wiles.org --------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
