Lost in Mac OS Xby Perrmoss (Initiate) |

Perrmoss has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Hail Noble Monks, (This is my first post) I am an engineer, who has decided to write a program in Perl (in other words I am not an experienced coder). I want the program to work on Mac and Windows, which is why I chose Perl, and I am working on the prototype on my Mac (OS X 10.4.10). I have some Mac-specific questions. I have got to the point when I need to be able to install modules; DateTime in particular. I have attempted an install in terminal, but I dont think it was successful. Here is what I did...
When I try to find DateTime in the finder, it appears in... In an earlier attempt I also attempted to install ActiveState. Odd thing is, when I type perl -v in terminal, it says I have perl version 5.8.6. I note that ActiveState has perl version 5.8.8 Do I have two versions of perl? Has DateTime arrived at the right place? Can I write a 'use DateTime;' type of line in my program (program says cant locate DateTime.pm in @INC)? Can someone provide a step-by-step guide on how the install should be done? Thanks in advance 20070922 Janitored by Corion: Added formatting, code tags, as per Writeup Formatting Tips
