Just as a point of clarification to avoid potential problems: technically, "cpan-mac" was the name of a distribution, one that worked ONLY with MacPerl 5.2.0r4 (and a few versions before it). What was included in cpan-mac, as Bart said, is now included in MacPerl 5.6 and later, but it is no longer called cpan-mac (since it is not a separate distribution), and installing cpan-mac on MacPerl 5.6 will break things. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
