Sorry to leave this thread languishing over the weekend. World Cup Fever is to blame. I've got hashes of arrays of matches and arrays of hashes of results and all kinds of lovely soccer data formats to play with.

For the record:

No, I didn't drag the files to the installme, because I didn't have the installme.

In my defense, when it says "in the distribution-included 'Installme' file", it doesn't say which distribution.

I have since downloaded Chris Nandor's cpan stuff which totally kicked ass and solved my problems, (after assigning a lot more memory to MacPerl!).

If we can draw any useful lesson from my rather pathetic post and the responses, it's "keep up to date with your version of Perl and the documentation will make more sense..."
