 I don't know about that, but if the developer tools weren't installed, 
 there'd be no compiler -- and there was definitely a compiler in the 
 error message sent yesterday -- the compiler it what complained that it 
 couldn't find perl.h.

As per my message yesterday: I'm pretty sure that what has happened in 
these cases is that someone has installed the Developer Tools but did
not choose to install the BSD SubSystem when installing the OS itself.
It's in the mix by default with 10.2, but some people unclick the option
on install (and it used to be off by default). Anyway, it's a separate
pkg on the install CD's, and should install without a hitch.

Cheers,
Paul

 Well, do you have this file?

Is this indicative of the Developer Tools not being installed?

I _thought_ (probably erroneously) that compiler errors of this nature were
due to said deficit.

Perl would try to do what it was asked but then couldn't find the header
files.

Or something along those lines :-)

I have exactly the same problem on a machine at work running Mac OS X 
Server 10.2. Don't know how to fix it. Would like to be able to run the 
LWP module too.

Objet : Rp : Installation of LWP fails

I run it all under root (using "su" and then entering the password). I
allready had installed Bundle:libnet and Bundle::CPAN (because the CPAN
module itself supposed to do so).
When I try to execute the command "install libwww" I get the error:
Warning: Cannot install libwww, don't know what it is.
Try the command

 i /libwww/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

Then I entered:
cpan i /libwww/

The output was the following:
Author  LWWWP (The libwww-perl mailing list)
DistributionG/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.10.tar.gz
DistributionG/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.18.tar.gz

DistributionG/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.48.tar.gz
DistributionG/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.52.tar.gz
7 items found

I entered "cpan install G/GA/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.52.tar.gz" and got the 
same
errors as before...
I then also tried to install an older version (5.10) but then I got more
weird errors :-/

May anyone help me?
I don't get around with this problem :-((

Thanks

When I try to install the LWP Module, I get an error

I don't know enough to isolate your problem from your error
messages, but I can tell you that I just successfully installed
the LWP module last night using CPAN, so it is possible. I
installed on a practically fresh installation of OS X.

My first suggestion is to make sure you are running CPAN as root
(using sudo, or any of the other ways of doing it).

If that doesn't work, then I'll tell you what I did exactly:
1) su to root
2) start CPAN just like you said you did
3) accept all the defaults of the configuration, except I
changed the answer to the cache directory, from /var/root/.cpan
to /private/var/root/.cpan, although I really don't know if this
is necessary
4) I just happened to install a couple of other modules first:
install Bundle::libnet
5) install Bundle::CPAN
6) quit and restart CPAN, and run through configuration again
7) install libwww (which included LWP)
8) install DBI (seemed to be successful)

I didn't make any other changes to perl prior to this. Hope this
helps.

cpan install LWP

works just fine for me.  Sometimes you just have to flow with the magic.
