you'll probably do a:

perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install

usually the requirements for the others will be that XML::LibXML is built.
once it is, the others *should* install from within the cpan shell.

They often release their copies of open source stuff before the final 
release, which would be found here:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/index.html
The 10.4 stuff isn't up yet, but the WWDC 2004 Developer Preview had 
5.8.4 according to that page.

It would be nice if that page had version numbers for some of the main 
Unix software they're going to be distributing: Perl, Python, Ruby, GCC, 
etc. Now that a release date is imminent, maybe they can update the page 
to have this information.

Didn't the promo pages for 10.3 have all of this kind of thing?

That's the one!

Looks like it'll be Perl 5.8.6 then...

Thanks, Brian! This is a little scary stuff for me I have to admit. I
spent some time looking through the Makefile.PL now and I am really not
sure what to change (I am afraid to break something). If I do find out,
should I then just run "sudo make install" in that directory? And,
should I then do the same in the other directories that cpan downloaded,
like "XML-LibXML-Common-0.13/", "XML-NamespaceSupport-1.08/",
"XML-SAX-0.12/"?

I sure wish this was easier. I keep wondering why I didn't have problems
the first time around, and my guess is it's that I didn't install libxml
using Fink, then. I guess cpan is confused by the location in which Fink
installs the files, right?

Thanks,
Ingo
