1. Spelling counts in computer programming. You wrote the equivalent of:

    require Dog::Poop;

    [download]
  2. You don't write 'require' anyway--it should be 'use'.

  3. I am on OSX 10.6.8 and downloaded the module using "fink"

    Is there a reason you aren't using the cpan command that is provided to you by your perl installation to download perl modules, i.e. opening up the Terminal App, and in the window that appears typing:

    $ cpan Some::Module

    [download]
