   I am currrently running on a G3 (firewire) Powerbook and I've never 
had any problems installing.  I don't know what the 1008:17 is but a 
-23 is an openErr.  Which means it has trouble opening something (the 
archive?).

   Without knowing what the exact error is, I'd say do the normal 
things.  Try downloading again (try getting the hqx version if you 
used the bin version), try doing it with extensions disabled, etc.

   BTW:  Nothing is installed in the system folder, so once expanded 
MacPerl can be dragged from machine to machine.   So, if all else 
fails, expand it somewhere else, then drag it over.
