I posted before about my inability to install modules. Fletch suggested that I didn't have make on my Mac. So I installed the Xcode Developer Tools and I'm pretty sure I have make now. I tried to install HTML::Tagset again, and here's the whole output (It's long):

Looks good Writing Makefile for HTML::Tagset -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Everything is going well until "NOT OK" for "Writing Makefile for HTML::Tagset". I don't know what that step actually means. Is there a common error that could cause this? I also tried install Bundle::CPAN and that didn't work either. Although at the end, I got a few successful Makefiles in a row before one failed... I think. Obviously, I don't know much about this.
