As I recall installing Perl Modules in Mac 10.2.3, using de CPAN
module
that comes with perl (5.8.0, source, I think with the perl 5.xx that
comes with Jaguar), with this written in the terminal, "perl -MCPAN
-e
shell", you just choose the defaults and the only part you have to be
careful, is the mirrors part so your downloads are faster.
Most of the configuration is done by the CPAN module.
I just wrote:
cpan> install ncftp
and it is downloading it.
And it is downloading from ftp://cpan.azc.uam.mx, that is very
convenient
for me, since I live in Mexico City.
hope this helps.

Hi again.
One suggestion was to use CPAN to install the modules. Does anyone
have any experience doing this on a Mac? I tried to do this and
when
you log on for the first time, you have to answer a whole bunch of
questions. CPAN could not find certain programs it wanted (like
ncftp)
and I suspect that at the end of the day, the config was inadequate
to
make the whole thing work. Anyone know how to configure it
correctly
so that it will install modules?
I know I have used it, but I have fink installed and who knows what
it
provides that isn't standard ;-). Assuming you have teh Dev Tools
installed you likely have everything you need. Things like ncftp are
optional to make things faster/easier for CPAN. It has numerous ways
to get the modules/etc. off of the Net that it needs so missing any
one particular program may not cause failure, especially since at the
very least it will fall through to Net::FTP which should be base
install. Asking the questions is normal the first time you run it,
which things in particular did you not have? Did you see if it would
work properly, start with a very simple module that doesn't have a
lot
of pre-reqs and work your way up. As an aside it will tell you there
is a new CPAN available, you shouldn't worry about installing it at
the start, you can later if you want.
