I noticed a regression introduced sometime between 5.12rc2 and the final version which is very similar to: http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl5.porters/browse_thread/thread/6dcaf949ff22c786/aa756d217366502b?lnk=raot The actually error I am seeing is: ++++++++++++++ ./cpan/CPANPLUS-Dist-Build/t/01_CPANPLUS-Dist-Build-Constants.t .. ok ===( 3595;129 41/58 4/? )==========================================[ERROR] Build.PL failed: perl version 5.12.0 can't run /usr/bin/cpanp-run-perl.

[ERROR] Unable to create a new distribution object for 'Foo::Bar' -- cannot continue ++++++++++ I found that the suggested solution of: "chmod +x cpan/CPANPLUS/bin/* " did fix this problem. I'd happy to try and help see this in 5.12.1 since it seems to affect every MacOS machine I've tried to install 5.12 on. Not sure how hard this fix would be, but it seems like something pretty innocuous.
