Has anyone had any success doing this rather than resorting to
installing their own (whether from source, MacPorts or Fink)?

The internets seem surprisingly quiet on this subject apart from
echoed reports of a suggestion to set ARCHFLAGS. Which didn't make
things any better for me.

I get to the test suite which immediately fails like so:

Skip the test suit? [No]
make: *** [run_tests] Error 1

Hi Bianca,

Perhaps another thing you could check is HTML::TreeBuilder::XPath[1],
which help you a lot.

Good luck!

Igor.

Now, it's working. :-)
I had to install Xcode and then, I have downloaded manually each package and then:
* unzip it
* in the terminal, go to the package directory
* execute: perl makefile.pl
* make test
* sudo make install

Assunto: cannot install cpan modules

Hi there,

I saw many emails with the same problem, cannot install cpan modules. But no solution worked for me.

I use perl 5.8.8 already installed on Mac OS Leopard 10.5.

I tried this:

sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::CPAN'

Part of the error message is:
CPAN.pm: Going to build P/PM/PMQS/Compress-Zlib-2.015.tar.gz

-- NOT OK
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
Running install for module IO::Uncompress::Base
Running...

I want to access https URLs on the web via LPW. To do this I need
Crypt::SSLeay.

I have not been able to install Crypt::SSLeay directly so I tried
MacPorts. Everything seemed to go fine, but LPW::UserAgent says
Crypt::SSLeay is not installed:

501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported (Crypt::SSLeay not
installed)

I can see Crypt::SSLeay in two places:
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/Crypt/SSLeay
/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/auto/Crypt/
SSLeay
Right now I've got
PERL5LIB=/Library/Perl/5.8.6:/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/
5.8.8/darwin-2level
LPW insists Crypt::SSLeay is not installed. I've tried various other
PER5LIB strings that seemed appropriate. None worked.

How do I get Perl to recognize a Perl module ported via MacPorts? In
particular, how do I get LPW::UserAgent to see Crypt::SSLeay?

Thanks for any advice you van give me.

Hi!

Could somebody please tell me if perl has any package to interact with
Apple Events. For example: In python one can use appscript to do the
same.

Thanks,

Yes, that error I got was while trying to install Mac::Glue. I have
the standard 5.8.6 in the standard place but have also had to install
5.8.8 for another reason. They should not be clashing; 5.8.8 is
normally used, but "#!/usr/bin/perl" still points to 5.8.6

I don't really need 5.8.8, as I was experimentally trying to use some
other module(s) when it was added. I do not use the new module(s) or
need 5.8.8, but am not sure how to remove it. Having said all that,
your saying 5.8.6 has Mac::Glue already there, and if so, maybe part
of my solution would be to downgrade to 5.8.6?

I am getting good with Perl but, holistically, I have some way to go
with CPAN, etc.

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I searched and didn't see
usable results.

I'm new to Perl and newer to Perl on Mac, but I thought I understood
CPAN and use. I installed Mac::Growl using CPAN from the command line.
I'm using the Perl distro included with Leopard. My program contains
the following lines:

use Mac::Growl ':all';
BEGIN { $Mac::Growl::base = 'Mac::Applescript' }

(I've tried it with the lines reversed with the same results. Just
reaching with no clue.)

I get this error when I run it:
