Excuse my high level of stupidity. Perhaps somebody has the same problems ... Dropping the brand new Mac-AppleEvents-Simple-0.81.tgz onto installme.plx out of the cpan-mac-0.40 package only leads to the following messages Unpacking archive ... Converting files ...

I put the WARNING in upper case. When looking into the module description I find: DESCRIPTION **NOTE** You should have the Mac::AppleEvents and Mac::Memory distributions from the cpan-mac distribution. Next I search for Mac::AppleEvents in CPAN. No success. Sorry, this drives me crazy. I try to develop an application, read the documentation, I download the latest modules, I install, run into errors and start again.
