From the Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities):
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
enter your password when prompted, then
install some::module
In the CPAN shell, you can search for modules using the command
i Exact::Module::Name
or
i /regex/
You can also install fink and install Perl modules that way, but I personally don't do that, so can't give specific syntax. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] [d/l] [select] |
I've started calibrating the CPAN thing, but where is my make program?
| [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
You have to install the Developer Tools that came on the CD with OS X (they're downloadable from Apple, too, I think). Then the CPAN config should find it automatically. Otherwise, from your terminal type 'which make' -- if that doesn't work, then make isn't in your path, and you should try 'sudo find / -name "make" -type f' and look through any results.
Don't put the single quotes around the commands, I put them in only for clarity.

You need to install the X-Code Tools. They should be on your Tiger- or Panther-CD.

Just to note, once you've installed the Dev Tools, you probably don't need "sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell", you should be able to just use "sudo cpan" to start it up.
