HI I am installing interchange on my MAC and have perl 5.8.1 in the system folder. when I input the address and type Makefile.PL.. I get an error message saying:that permission denied.
It sounds like you're trying to run Makefile.pl from a browser, you can't do that. You need to run it from a terminal or shell.
If that's not the case please provide more detail of exactly what you're trying to do and the exact error message you get, not just generalizations.
so then I figured maybe because it's perl 5.8.1 and not 5.6.2 as per the documentation.. so I downloaded 5.6.2 and put it in the system folder. but it won't let me put it there.. ugh
It's 5.6.2 or later, 5.8.1 is good enough, but you should check that it's non-threaded ("perl --version" will tell you if it's threaded). Otherwise download and compile the latest 5.8 version of perl (I believe 5.8.10). 5.8.1 is early in the 5.8 release cycle and now considered old and buggy (5.6.2 is *way* old). I can't give specifics of where to put it on a mac, though.
