The error message says it's looking for the MD5 module. Do you have it? > What is the difference between > /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 directory and /usr/local/lib/perl/site_perl? The site_perl directory is for modules you install, as opposed to Perl's standard library. > Is site_perl platform specific? There are subdirectories under it for platform specific stuff.
