Trouble installing modules under Mac OS Xby Anonymous Monk |

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hey monks, I built an interactive web site using perl/Apache/SQL on another UNIX system, and have been trying to get it working under OS X. One problem I'm facing involves installing new modules. Tricycle has written about this problem before, and I've read those postings; but I've tried the recommendations he was given with no success. I'm getting a lot of errors when I use the CPAN shell to install DBI.pm (to manage connections with a mySQL database). For instance, when I try this in the CPAN shell: install Bundle::DBI I get this: Couldn't open y/build/TIMB000/MANIFEST: No such file or directory at /System/Library/Perl/CPAN.pm line 1806 I'm beyond my depth here. Is the CPAN shell making assumptions about the directory structure that are not true under OS X? It was implied in an earlier posting that installing the Developer Tools CD might clear this problem up, but I've tried that and no dice. Any insights are appreciated.
