in thread Install and use module

The first four steps from BrowserUK worked well, thank you! Kit complete, tests successful, etc. Took some time for me to find the Apple Dev Tools (my problem). However, step 5 reports: "ERROR: Can't create '/usr/local/share/man/man3: Permission denied at /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 479." And adds "Error 13". I've looked at, and tried to change(!), some Permissions on my Mac. And I've looked for help on the web. But I really don't know what I'm doing so, of course, nothing tried so far has worked. So now, how do I get permission for 'make install'?

      The Warning that appeared with Sudo make install frightened me but I finally got up nerve to try. Its bark was worse than its bite, and it seems to have worked. You, Your Mother, and Fletch were all right on. Many thanks. Unfortunately, I still have a question: Now that I have Module::Refresh, how do I actully use it in my script to refresh files created and written to (and added to) from the script? I printed out @INC and got frightened again. Do I want to mess around with all that directory stuff? The documentation with the modules is minimal (some better info with the one review, but). Sorry, but I now don't even know if this modules refreshes 'modules' (like itself) or files! My questions are; ! What does Module Refresh refresh, and 2. How do I use Module::Refresh to refresh files that were created and written to, and written to again, from my Perl script without closing and reopening the file window manually with my mouse?
