Hmmm, CPAN is available on my Panther client and I have used it there so I have seen it in action.

From the ReadMe I see:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install

which I just did an hour ago for <MIME-Base64-Perl-1.00.tar>. It reported success at each step.

It changed the error messages to:

*******************
Software error:

For help, please send mail to the webmaster ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), giving this error message and the time and date of the error. Content-type: text/html

I now see 2 files in </MIME/>, Base64 and QuotedPrint, with no <.pm> extension on either.

So you don't know how to do a <Package> install via Terminal?

My server is Jaguar and CPAN is not available.

The CPAN module has been a standard part of Perl since 5.004, which was released in May '97 - long before Mac OS X was released. Unless you've managed to delete or mangle it somehow, it's available on your Jaguar server.


But whatever. Even in the highly unlikely event that your CPAN module has been deleted or broken somehow, the module archive at <http://www.cpan.org> is still available to you. You could still download the module packages from there, and follow the UNIX instructions found in 'perldoc perlmodinstall'.

Have you tried asking Perl itself for advice? The 'perldoc' utility has a search interface for its "Frequently Asked Questions" list. Try this:

perldoc -q "How do I install a module"
