Hello all,
I have perl 5.6.0 on my Mac OS X. I'd like to install libnet. However, when I try to use cpan, it wants to automagically upgrade my perl to 5.8.2. All I really want is Net::FTP. What is my best course of action:
--As for the rest, it is mine.
My advice: (In order of preference,)
1. Upgrade to Panther. ;-) It includes Perl 5.8, and plenty more.
2. Upgrade Perl following the directions at:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/perl.html
This will get you the current version of Perl.
3. Install the latest version of libnet, from CPAN if it will let you, otherwise directly. (You can download the package from CPAN's website.)
Hope that helps.
