sorry for the delay in coming back to this, i recently switched computers, and had to go through the process again, which did go smoother this time. i think the key is to do everything inexactly the order the instructions suggest, and even then, you will have to force install. the subsequent tests will still fail, but the plugin will work, at least that's been my experience.
in the prior instance, i ended up deleting the plugin, install logs, and just starting over. that system was OS 10.5.8, this is OS 10.6.2, not sure if that should make a difference. also, although the instructions are not clear on this point, the "dev tools" are in fact the xcode tools, and you need to run the full xcode installer from the install CD. here's the output from the "force install", after which the plugin does work: -------- cpan[2]> force install Mac::AppleScript::Glue Running install for module 'Mac::AppleScript::Glue' Running make for J/JL/JLABOVITZ/Mac-AppleScript-Glue-0.03.tar.gz Has already been unwrapped into directory /Users/basso/.cpan/build/Mac-AppleScript-Glue-0.03-p0N7sL Has already been made Running make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/bin/perl "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/basic........v-string in use/require non-portable at /Users/basso/.cpan/build/Mac-AppleScript-Glue-0.03-p0N7sL/blib/lib/Mac/AppleScript/Glue.pm line 234. t/basic........ok t/finder.......v-string in use/require non-portable at /Users/basso/.cpan/build/Mac-AppleScript-Glue-0.03-p0N7sL/blib/lib/Mac/AppleScript/Glue.pm line 234. t/finder.......ok t/pod..........Undefined subroutine &main::pod_ok called at t/pod.t line 26. # Looks like your test died before it could output anything. t/pod..........dubious Test returned status 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) DIED.
