I installed 5.8.7 on a Mac Mini running 10.4.2 under /usr/local,
executables in /usr/local/bin, used .bash_profile to add /usr/local/
bin to the front of my path (bleaugh).
(Hesitated about installing gpg, but trying to build it gave me a
huge bunch of integer precision errors with the sign bit so I decided
to just move ahead. Does cpan use openssl if it doesn't find gpg? Or
does it just not bother to check the checksums/signatures?)
sudid cpan, with the .cpan file under /usr/local/share/perl. (Is that
reasonable?)
Tried to install WWW:Curl from the cpan prompt. At the make test
stage, I get about twenty occurences of
Bareword "CURLOPT_MUTE" not allowed while "strict subs"
in different files, and cpan kindly refuses to complete the install.
105 out of 108 failed. I don't see any other errors.
I'm debating doing a parallel install of the latest curl into /usr/
local/bin.
Anyone have a better suggestion?

It looks like WWW::Curl isn't happy under 5.8.7. That's a compile-time
error, so it's never even getting off the ground.
Definitely not related to CPAN, or Mac Mini, or 10.4.2.
Best bet is to report this to the author of WWW::Curl.

Just for the record, I did try a parallel install of curl, with the
same results.
Tried contacting the author, as Ken suggested, no response yet.
