As a Macaroni myself, I'm curious just what version of OS X you installed, Cody_Pendant? I just upgraded to 10.3 (Panther--which I would not necessarily recommend unless you have $120 to burn) and got a nice install of 5.8.1. I did have to reinstall the DBI and DBD::mysql, with, of course, MySQL. Also, because I am HTML::Template-dependant, I had to install that.

But as someone still new to the idea of modules (it only took me 2 years and lurking around PM to discover them), I'm wondering what modules come standard with the 5.8.1 install, besides CGI.pm and CGI::Carp.

The only list I can find is here. If that is truly what gets installed, then I can see Cody_Pendant's point. On the positive side, I've got a lot of exploring to do. Thanks C-P for raising the question and sending me looking.
