Hmm. No, I did have site_perl before everything else. It might have been
that it wasn't properly autosplitted, though. I did a reinstall of Storable
with installme.plx and then everything worked fine - that's why I thought
that it was missing. I did unpack the cpan-mac with Stuffit, the others were
first unpacked with Stuffit, but after I had the installation problem, I did
use the unaltered originals from your site.

It did give an error about a '\r' occuring in the packages - sorry, I didn't
note the error. That's why I thought it was the different unpacking with
Stuffit. Directly unpacking and installing the tar.gz with installme did
work fine, so I didn't investigate any further.

Yes, that would be exactly what I would like. So I can set my preferred
creator for .pm's and it would be used.

Yes, it is a bit disturbing. I think this isn't the first time that I
stumble accross this thing - last time it was before the upgrade to the
current MacPerl binary. Actually it seems that this problem always occurs if
I upgrade the Perl distribution, because of the delivered binary. Either
Matthias should put this one into the preferences, or put out more releases
in time, so one has to do it more often and doesn't forget about it ;-)

bye, Georg
