Hi Jonas. I get same error for any module I try and build.

Yes... but it is a file, not a directory (which puzzles me to no end)

I don't know if I broke anything important but...

mv /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.8.6/
darwin-thread-multi-2level.old

then re-running install module_name from the cpan prompt worked.

the /Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level directory was  
created and all the modules I installed were placed there. The old  
file with the same name contain text related to pdf stuff....

# ------- FUNCTION WRAPPERS --------

package pdflib_pl;

*PDF_activate_item = *pdflibc::PDF_activate_item;
*PDF_add_bookmark = *pdflibc::PDF_add_bookmark;
*PDF_add_launchlink = *pdflibc::PDF_add_launchlink;
*PDF_add_locallink = *pdflibc::PDF_add_locallink;
*PDF_add_nameddest = *pdflibc::PDF_add_nameddest;
etc.....

Any ideas what this is?
