Don't know much about those modules, but macperl lists are for MacPerl. 
MacPerl is perl, but the underlying system stuff is not *nix-ish in a 
lot of places.

Perl on Mac OS X is just perl, and the underlying system stuff is 
*nix-ish, but the directories and files in the system install tend to 
be in places convenient to the Mac OS X way of configuring things. You 
can install your own, which is what many people do when installing 5.8 
on Panther and beyond, where the system install is 5.6 and the upgrade 
is going to require re-compiling libraries.

The list you want is the Mac OS X perl list (macosx@perl.org), and 
there are people there who do can answer your question. You can 
probably find the listserver address and the archives the same place 
you found the macperl modules list. I'd give you the address of the 
listserver, but I don't remember where I put it.
