This is not correct; it thinks the .bin file is macbinary, it tries to convert it, and fails. I believe Paul Schinder now has an is_binary function that should be used instead. This is on my personal TODO list. However, my guess is that it is installed properly regardless, since those files are just for testing. So try using MIME::Entity now. It is likely already installed properly. If not, just unpack the MIME-Entity distribution with Stuffit Expander or something (see http://pudge.net/macperl/macperlmodinstall.html for more methods), and then drop the resulting folder on the installme droplet that comes with cpan-mac. -- Chris Nandor | pudge@pobox.com | http://pudge.net/ Andover.Net | chris.nandor@andover.net | http://slashcode.com/ # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org # ===== Want to unsubscribe from this list? # ===== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-request@macperl.org
