I would dearly like help installing modules on OSX. Particularly XML modules.
Here's a short summary of my travails so far: * I go to install XML::Simple * I can't because it requires XML::Parser * I go to install XML::Parser * I can't because it requires Expat * I go to install Expat * Expat isn't even a Perl Module at all, it's some scary thing with files ending in .h and .c -- what is is, a C binary? * I install that, or I think I have, and I go back to Parser * It says that Expat isn't installed where it's expecting to find it * I install it with a special command line option to tell it the locations * It installs, with a *lot* of messages that I don't understand, which seem to relate to case-sensitivity and the file system being different * I run "make test" and it reports that make failed, although make itself never actually told me so * I give up. CPAN, as far as I can tell, has no documentation whatever regarding OSX and installation issues. Any advice which will get me anywhere along the way, please let me know. jh -- ------------------------------------------------------------ John Horner (+612 / 02) 9333 2110 Senior Developer, ABC Online http://abc.net.au/ ------------------------------------------------------------
