The author of the module, brian d foy, is right now in Iraq, that strange place in the desert the USA choose to invade. Him, brian d foy, being in Iraq, is a slight problem. Yet there might be a (slow) solution Visit brian's sourceforge web site and file bug-report (with the output that 'make test' returns), and he might find the time to help you in the long run. BTW. the problem might be you are using a higher version of iTunes, than brian did develop his module for. The last time I read about Mac::iTunes, he stated that he has to reverse engineer the new changes to some of the newest iTunes files. Him being in Iraq meant he got his iTunes update as part of iLife... through the mail. The internet is to slow for a live update. The quick, FAST, and dirty way for you is to install the module with from CPAn with FORCE. I.e. FORCE INSTALL Mac::iTunes. thanks /oliver/
