Since I was in the process of installing a fresh copy of MacPerl, I went
ahead and finished it.  I installed Paul's module fixes, then installed
cpan-mac-0.22.  I set MacPerl's memory partition to 70,000K (wanted to go
for overkill), and tried:

cpan> install CNANDOR/GD-1.18-bin-2-MacOS.tar.gz

and it worked!  I'm not sure if it was a memory problem before, or a
corrupted MacPerl, or an improper installation, but reinstalling everything
and setting the memory partition higher seemed to work.  I'll experiment
with less memory next time I do another install, but for now, everything is
working again.

Thanks again!
