| Checking if your kit is complete...
| Looks good
| # Warning: PERL_LIB (Primus 8.5GB:Applications:MacPerl 
5.6.1b1Ÿ:site_perl) 
| seems not to be a perl library directory
| #         (Exporter.pm not found).
| File 'Primus 8.5GB:Applications:MacPerl 
5.6.1b1Ÿ:lib:ExtUtils:MM_MacOS.pm'; 
| Line 312

(okay, I officially hit the point of "huh??" when it says Exporter.pm 
can't be found, much less that it thinks site_perl isn't a library dir.)

| # Can't do :Makefile.PL in Primus 8.5GB:Applications:MacPerl 
5.6.1b1Ÿ:.cpan:build:Test-1.18:
| # No Primus 8.5GB:Applications:MacPerl 5.6.1b1Ÿ:.cpan:build:Test-1.18: 
package data.
| File 'Primus 8.5GB:Applications:MacPerl 
5.6.1b1Ÿ:lib:Mac:BuildTools.pm'; Line 28

(Is this something I should be reporting to the package author, or is 
this a problem with Mac::BuildTools?)

| cpan> q
| Lockfile removed.
