That's old. Did you say you have OS X 10.2?
10.2.8. That Developer Tools seems to be the newest one for 10.2 on
the Developer Tools page; the rest are XCode, and require 10.3.

Oh, there's a hint. There was a version of CPAN.pm in early Jaguar that
would force an install of the latest Perl. Not what you want. I think
the immediate solution was to install a newer CPAN (but not
Bundle::CPAN). Search this list -- lots of talk over a year ago...
I haven't found it yet, but I'll keep looking.

slightly different now, but I'm not certain of the specifics.
I've installed Dev Tools routinely since the Public Beta, so I don't
know what it's like without them, but it seems like I first tested them
using Terminal, running tools and Perl code from the command line...
Could you reinstall your system, maybe upgraded to later Jaguar, and get
a later version of the Developer Tools? And if you want a later version
of Perl, DO NOT replace the system's Perl -- again, search this list for
discussion. (I'm assuming you have a reason not to buy Panther, w/ Perl
5.8.1.)
This is my hobby machine to play with OSX - I don't want to spend the
$100+ for Panther. ;)
