[MacPerl] Problem with Random module

[Richard Gibson <gibson@nyssa.tamu.edu>]

I downloaded and tried to install the Random.pm module system for 
MacPerl.  This is the first new module I've attempted to use, so I 
followed the suggestions of the README file (and the MacPerl book) and 
created a new directory called site_perl in the MacPerl Ÿ folder.  I also 
checked the Preferences and added this directory to the search list, even 
though it was apparently already there by default.

Nonetheless, when I try to run the example.pl script, I get the error:
  
# Math/Random.pm did not return a true value.
File 'Data:MacPerl Ÿ:Math-Random-0.6-bin-1-MacOS:example.pl'; Line 2
# BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
File 'Data:MacPerl Ÿ:Math-Random-0.6-bin-1-MacOS:example.pl'; Line 2

associated with the line:

use Math::Random qw(:all);

Since I've worked hard to follow all the directions I could find, I'm 
puzzled as to why I still can't get this thing to work!

Thanks for any tips,
Rick
