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.
