in reply to Re^2: Fresh perl install
in thread Fresh perl install

The current version of Xcode is 4.3.3; however, I doubt that's the issue. Given that you have a make in your PATH, I suspect that Commanf Line Tools is not the issue either. Did you happen to look at the logs after the failed installs to see what the error was? Do you remember whether you installed perlbrew and cpanm in your home directory as per perlbrew.pl's instructions?

        then it tries to install 5 dependencies all unsuccesfully

        If you can get that 5th dependency to install, then the other modules (that depend upon it) might then install.

        What happens if you try to 'cpan install' that 5th dependency ?
        Are you familiar with the manual installation process - where, instead of running 'cpan install' you download and unpack the source tarball, cd to its top-level folder and run 'perl Makefile.PL', 'make test' and 'make install' ?

        (I'm not a macs user, btw. The above approach merely outlines the way *I* would go about trying to understand and solve the problem)

        Cheers,
        Rob
