stuff. Likewise I've been using CPAN with no clue as to what I'm doing. Is there a book or site that covers working with CPAN and using modules that is appropriate for Panther? Googling & the O'Reily Mac site have turned up lots of fixes for gotchas, but not much for the newbie.
There's a new website that has been set up - http://www.cpanforum.com . . . it's very new but it looks to be a good place to post questions about modules that you're interested in. Of course, I hope that you've looked through http://www.cpan.org
That being said, is it normal that a lot of the CPAN stuff (of interest to me) is really old? It seems odd to be using 5 year old stuff!

Well, it's a judgement call. I'm sure there are sites (such as banks) that run on code that was developed in a previous Perl version for which these modules work with. Which modules are you interested in? Perhaps there's another newer module that accomplishes the same functionality that you're looking for.
