I did the installation without using CPAN and it's worked somehow. there's lot of env variables I set up: # setenv PATH \ /usr/sfw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin # setenv PATH \ ${PATH}:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/sbin:/opt/sfw/bin:. # setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH \ /usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/sfw/lib
the XML::Parser was the only one that required the expat link. the remaining were easy to install as per the README file. I think CPAN looks for a lot of env variables that I am not aware of. Thanks for all the suggestions.
