- CPAN comes preinstalled in Snow Leopard. No new install needed and in fact not recommended unless something is broken or you know what you are doing.
- Always login into CPAN via sudo or root (sudo is the recommended option):
sudo perl -MCPAN -e "shell" - Its recommended to set FTP into passive mode so as to avoid having any troubles due to CPAN not being able to download from repositories via ftp. Create a file ~/.bash_login and add this to it:
export FTP_PASSIVE=1 - You can install any CPAN modules like this (here I am installing XMLWriter module) from CPAN prompt:
install XML::Writer
