that information was the important bit missing in your original mail :) > I am using CPAN.pm v1.7601. It claims that pp is up-to-date and PAR > are both up-to-date. I am unsure of the exact version number. You can do "perl -MPAR -e 'print PAR->VERSION,"\n"'. Dito for PAR::Packer. > I have repeated this on a separate mac, and run into the same issue: > the installation process is straight-forward and successful using > CPAN.pm, but typing "pp" at the command prompt yields "command not > found". I have no Mac, so I can't test this. But given that PAR::Packer has been installed correctly, it seems extra modules aren't placed in the "bin" directory that's in your $PATH. Do you have the 'locate' (or 'slocate') and updatedb commands? If so, you can do "updatedb; locate pp | less" to find the pp command (not pp.pm). If not, well, I bet the Mac has its own solution for finding files. Please report back here if you find it. Maybe it's something that needs fixing upstream in the CPAN toolchain. Oh. That reminds me: Please try upgrading your CPAN.pm 1.7601 is pretty ancient! Cheers, Steffen
