This is optional, but regardless of your subsequent choice of
installation method, it will help to carry out the following steps.
They will increase the likelyhood of installation success
(especially of optional dependencies).
* Upgrade CPAN:
>perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan>install Bundle::CPAN
cpan>q<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>
* Install/upgrade Module::Build, and make it your preferred
installer:
>cpan
cpan>install Module::Build
cpan>o conf prefer_installer MB
cpan>o conf commit
cpan>q
* Install the expat library by whatever method is
appropriate for your system.
* If your expat library is installed in a non-standard location,
tell CPAN about it:
>cpan
cpan>o conf makepl_arg "EXPATLIBPATH=/non-standard/lib EXPATINCPATH=/non-standard/include"
cpan>o conf commit
