Re: Can't find Mac::Growl

Yes, that error I got was while trying to install Mac::Glue.  I have  
the standard 5.8.6 in the standard place but have also had to install  
5.8.8 for another reason.  They should not be clashing; 5.8.8 is  
normally used, but "#!/usr/bin/perl" still points to 5.8.6

I don't really need 5.8.8, as I was experimentally trying to use some  
other module(s) when it was added.  I do not use the new module(s) or  
need 5.8.8, but am not sure how to remove it.  Having said all that,  
your saying 5.8.6 has Mac::Glue already there, and if so, maybe part  
of my solution would be to downgrade to 5.8.6?

I am getting good with Perl but, holistically, I have some way to go  
with CPAN, etc.
