There are many dangers to running it as root, not the least of which is the fact that you are modifying stuff that Apple claims as its own. If you heard about the recent mess involving the latest update to OS X breaking Perl, well, that is the sort of thing that can happen when you install modules as root. I find it much better to install as a normal user, that way my modules are safe from OS updates screwing with them. -- Chas.

I think it is pre- installed on the Mac. If not, it is not hard to install. Here is more info on CPAN; http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/perl/lib/CPAN.html To install something, i.e. a module. issue this command; perl -MCPAN -e shell My::Module Hope that helps, if not, post any questions you have here.

I get pretty much the same results after installing xcode. When I do the Makefile.PL --bootstrap But when I just type make this time I get: No targets specified and no makefile foundmake: *** . Stop.

New to Mac - need help compiling a package
Hi, I am new to Mac (not to perl). I have a package Net-Twitter-2.12.tar.gz which I want to start using but not sure how to make the package available on my perl installation. I am running on Mac OSX 10.0.5.6 Any help/guidelines will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Shai
