I've got 5.8.1 installed in the default locations set by Apple, but cannot get CPAN to install HTML::Parser and friends.

Logged in as root, I do the standard perl -MCPAN -e 'shell', and install HTML::Parser. I notice that it's complaining about not finding /usr/local/lib. Weird that it can't create the directories it requires since I'm root, but whatever, I create it manually. Now the error looks like this:

Any suggestions? Thanks, djantzen

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Come for the quick hacks, stay for the epiphanies.
