Hi,

I have a mac os x 10.7.5 with perl v5.12.3. I also have installed xcode 4.3.2.

In trying to install the WWW::Curl module using cpanp, some of the tests fail, apparently on a file descriptor issue. When I read through the output, it apparently finds a curl-config file (not my own doing) and finds some syntax problems with stdio.h.

I have successfully installed other modules using cpanp. However, I am relatively new with this. Up to this point have opted out of proceeding with the installation, but don't know how to proceed to correct the issue. I've tried internet searches and Super Search on this web site, but can't find anything that gives direct insight to the issue, either to fix or ignore it.

Output of the cpanp is shown below.

Thanks in advance.
