Thanks so much for your suggestions! I'm learning a bit about Perl as I go but must admit this stuff still confuses me to no end. Everything you mentioned made sense, so I fired up cpan plus and tried reinstalling the modules. Unfortunately I ran into the following error when running i DBI:

Code:

Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good I see you're using perl 5.012003 on darwin-thread-multi-2level, okay. Remember to actually *read* the README file! Use 'make' to build the software (dmake or nmake on Windows). Then 'make test' to execute self tests. Then 'make install' to install the DBI and then delete this working directory before unpacking and building any DBD::* drivers. Writing Makefile for DBI [ERROR] MAKE failed: No such file or directory open3: exec of /usr/bin/make failed at /System/Library/Perl/5.12/IPC/Cmd.pm line 1010 [ERROR] Unable to create a new distribution object for 'DBI' -- cannot continue Error installing 'DBI' Problem installing one or more modules *** You can view the complete error buffer by pressing 'p' ***

I honestly can't tell if it's a permissions issue or if I'm missing a makefile? I was hoping it was going to be easy, but I guess that was asking too much. Any further suggestions you have for me would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

I've just tried this on my mac (after an upgrade to Lion) and it all worked ok... Undecided

The only thing that I can think of that may be different is that the Lion upgrade did wipe out my Xcode install (Apple's developer tools), so just installed the GCC for Mac package instead of the whole 4GB of Xcode (https://github.com/kennethreitz/osx-gcc-installer).

Your error did look like a compilation thing... Try installing GCC and having another bash.
