newbie to OSX perl
but installing Bundle::CPAN is failing

a lot of modules install successfully except when it reaches
"Mac::Files" (I think?)  the test fails.  what is the best course of
action here?

A complete installation log may be downloaded from:
http://www.enabled.com/~noah/perl-macosx/fail.log.tar.gz

here is a truncated version of the failure from the shell.
