Hi Julian,

Once you have installed Perl from sources you should use the CPAN
module to install more modules. Stay away from the ports collection
now. Do 'perldoc CPAN' for info. But here's the example for the
impatient:

  $ perl -MCPAN -eshell
  cpan> install Digest::MD5
  cpan> exit

BTW the first time you run CPAN it will ask a bunch of config
questions.

You also probably want to verify that 5.6 Perl is the one in your path
with 'perl -v'. Just in case, you know.

HTH and
Hope you have a very nice day, :-)
