phildobbin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm trying to install WWW::Curl on OS X 10.2/Perl 5.6.0 and Curl 7.7.2.
From cpan I'm getting this:
cc1: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/include +" cc1: warning: as it has already been specified as a non-system directo +ry Curl.xs: In function `perl_curl_easy_duphandle': Curl.xs:147: warning: assignment makes pointer from integer without a +cast Curl.xs: In function `XS_WWW__Curl__easy_setopt': Curl.xs:656: warning: passing arg 2 of `Perl_sv_2pv' from incompatible + pointer type Curl.xs: In function `boot_WWW__Curl': Curl.xs:504: `CURL_GLOBAL_ALL' undeclared (first use in this function) Curl.xs:504: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once Curl.xs:504: for each function it appears in.) make: *** [Curl.o] Error 1 /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Running make install make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

All the other modules I've ever installed have been fine so
I don't think it's a compiler problem per se.
Has anybody else seen this?

    It sounds like the curl library used by WWW::Curl is out of date.

    I haven't seen that problem. I installed WWW:Curl fine on my apple running:
    Mac OSX Version: 10.3.6
    Perl Version: 5.8.1
    downloaded the module from cpan here
