in thread Configuring Mac OS X to Install Perl Modules

In addition to everything I wrote above, I also needed to run install Test::Exception

So the final, full list of everything I command I ran to install DateTime on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.5.8, that has never before used perl

1. sudo CPAN (press enter lots of times to config)
2. install Params::Validate
3. install DateTime::Locale
4. install DateTime::TimeZone
5. install Test::Exception
6. install Test::Warn
7. install DateTime::Format::ICal

and FINALLY:

8. install DateTime

Sadly, I have no idea what I just did. All I know is it worked for me and I moved on to successfully finish setting up bugzilla.

I hope this helps someone else out there (the way the posts in this thread lead me to figure this thing out)

I just wanted to say thanks, and also to let others know that almost 3 years later, this worked perfectly for me on Snow Leopard.

I also needed to install Test::More. Otherwise I got some nonsense about "You tried to run a test without a plan".

If I try to install DateTime, I get this: lizxp-4:~ lizx$ cpan DateTime CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18) Going to read /Users/lizx/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Fri, 06 Jan 2012 20:10:31 GMT CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.78) Going to read /Users/lizx/.cpan/build/ ............................................................................DONE Found 35 old builds, restored the state of 35 Running install for module 'DateTime' Running Build for D/DR/DROLSKY/DateTime-0.72.tar.gz Prepending /Users/lizx/.cpan/build/JSON-PP-2.27200-mFYxJ8/blib/arch /Users/lizx/.cpan/build/JSON-PP-2.27200-mFYxJ8/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'get' Has already been unwrapped into directory /Users/lizx/.cpan/build/DateTime-0.72-LkeH0n Prepending /Users/lizx/.cpan/build/JSON-PP-2.27200-mFYxJ8/blib/arch /Users/lizx/.cpan/build/JSON-PP-2.27200-mFYxJ8/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'make' Could not make: Unknown error Prepending /Users/lizx/.cpan/build/JSON-PP-2.27200-mFYxJ8/blib/arch /Users/lizx/.cpan/build/JSON-PP-2.27200-mFYxJ8/blib/lib to PERL5LIB for 'test' Running Build test Can't test without successful make Running Build install Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible ---- I don't know what else to try.

Had to do Install Module::Runtime before everything else.
