Re^3: How do you install Perl modules on a Mac?

You have to install the Developer Tools that came on the CD with OS X (they're downloadable from Apple, too, I think). Then the CPAN config should find it automatically. Otherwise, from your terminal type 'which make' -- if that doesn't work, then make isn't in your path, and you should try 'sudo find / -name "make" -type f' and look through any results.

Don't put the single quotes around the commands, I put them in only for clarity.

Larry Wall is Yoda: there is no try{}
The Code that can be seen is not the true Code

I've installed the developer tools, but it seems to have saved the fact that I didn't give it a path to my make program. How would I go about changing/recalibrating it so that I could fix that? My Website	[reply]

Alright, have fixed that. However, now whenever I try to download a module, it will say: Writing Makefile for ModuleName -- NOT OK Anyone have any ideas on what I've done wrong and how to fix it? My Website	[reply]
