Hello All,
I upgraded to Mac OSX 10.5, using the upgrade option, and the modules
I downloaded from CPAN are now missing.
You probably had them installed in Mac OS X's Perl directories.
I install my own perls (and have many installed) each with their own
roots:
$ ls -l /usr/local/perls
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Dec 2 12:13 perl-5.10.0-rc2
drwxrwxr-x 5 brian wheel 170 Mar 14 2007 perl-5.6.2

I think have links in /usr/local/bin to each of the interpreters I like
to use:
$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/perl*
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1103676 Apr 9 2007 /usr/local/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 47 Dec 2 12:44
/usr/local/bin/perl5.10.0 ->
/usr/local/perls/perl-5.10.0-rc2/bin/perl5.10.0
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 41 Aug 16 00:00
/usr/local/bin/perl5.6.2 -> /usr/local/perls/perl-5.6.2/bin/perl5.6.2
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 1103676 Apr 9 2007 /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.8
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 41 Sep 29 14:38
/usr/local/bin/perl5.9.5 -> /usr/local/perls/perl-5.9.5/bin/perl5.9.5
When I want to install modules, I use the right interpreter with
cpan(1):
$ perl5.10.0 cpan Foo Bar
Hey brian,
Do you typically just take the defaults when compiling Perl?
