Re: [MacPerl] CPAN-Mac

[Kevin van Haaren <kevinv@hockey.net>]

I just installed 0.40 on my mac (iBook running OS 9) with no 
problems.  The only thing different I may have done is:
1) I increased the memory allotment to MacPerl before installing (max=20
20 mb, min 8 mb)

2) I didn't install from a desktop folder, i had the CPAN installer=20
in a subfolder)

3) I created the HOME variable before running the installer

I didn't have a site_perl folder (I have my modules in a different=20
location and just modify the library pointer in MacPerl).  The=20
installer created it for me.  After install i added the site_perl to=20
the library path so it would be first.
