Not sure why you had to install perl since it should have been part of
the stock OSX install (or at least it was last time I logged onto a
mac). Not sure why the Fink method has so many issues, but might try the
above which works for linux or bsd.

Subject: [Bioperl-l] BioPerl install issues

I'm new to both perl and bioperl and I'm having issues installing
bioperl.  I'm trying to install on a Mac OS 10.6.4, and I've already
installed perl (5.10.0).  I tried installing using the recommended
approach for Mac - via Fink...
"fink install bioperl-pm5100"

Looking back over the terminal window text it looks like the problem
is:
"This package requires Module::Build v0.2805 or greater to install
itself."

I tried doing "fink selfupdate" and that did not fix the problem.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Diana
