After a couple of hours I found my way thru CPAN getting one missing module at a time. It appears that the warning messages just point out things you can install afterwards though. The URI and HeadParser aka the HTML module are pretty much required. Base64 and FTP seem not to be used for

Directory path error

Hi all, Was wondering if anyone had experienced this problem before: When specifying a directory to glob in MacOS X it malfunctions if the path contains a space ie. /Users/sydneyshan/University of Newcastle/* Is there any way around this without needing to replace the directory's spaces with

Hello all, I got a new iMac a few of weeks ago. I've been using MacPerl on a Power Computing tower until now. I'm a bit stymied by Perl on the iMac. My primary problem is that I don't know how to install Perl modules. This was easy in MacPerl. I just dropped the module on Chris Nandor's installme

hard links on HFS+

2002-10-31 Thread Rich Morin
UFS has the notion of a hard link (i.e., a duplicate directory entry somewhere in the same file system, typically for a file). A key characteristic of hard links is that the modes and contents of the file are shared by the link (because all directory entries for a file point to the same inode). I

This is a bug in the version of CPAN that comes with perl 5.6. If a module is in the perl core distribution and you try to install or upgrade it (it's possible that it moved into the core in a later version than 5.6) then that version of CPAN will grab perl to install that module. If you instead
