I tried to execute this command on a MacBook running osX 14.4.1:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install XML::Parser'
[download]

The command fails to load the module, hanging until I kill it. Here's the output:

I'd like to know why it fails and how to fix it. Failing that, I'd like to know another way to load the module, Thanks
