G'day Timothy,
You're missing the perl headers. These are installed when you install the developers tools (which came with your OS or are available freely from Apple's website)
I can't remember which package in particular you need, if you can't work it out and don't want to just install everything off the disk, I'm sure someone else will chip in shortly with exactly which package it is.
Cheers! Rick Measham

I've been playing around with CPAN, to get some modules installed. Unfortunately, something seems to be not working. Perhaps it was because I tried to install LWP before its dependencies. Or it could be that the CPAN update failed. But anyway, the "make" section is failing. Any ideas how I can fix it?
Here is an excerpt:
Error: Unable to locate installed Perl libraries or Perl source code.
It is recommended that you install perl in a standard location before building extensions. Some precompiled versions of perl do not contain these header files, so you cannot build extensions. In such a case, please build and install your perl from a fresh perl distribution. It usually solves this kind of problem.
(You get this message, because MakeMaker could not find "/System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/perl.h")
That particular file does not seem to exist. So maybe there's some setting I need to change.
And make returns status 512 often. Whatever that means. ;)
