To All,

I am going CrAzY trying to get MobiPerl working on my iMac (OS X 10.6.4). I've downloaded the latest MobiPerl version (0.0.5) and unzipped it to my machine. I then tried to run mobi2html and of course, I got problems associated with CPAN. Okay, scour the web, figure out and resolve that problem.

Try to run again ... now start getting PM errors: (example) "XML::Parser::Lite::Tree.pm" not found. Go to the internet, find the file, fix it, get another not found ...

Fix that, get another not found .... ad nasaum ...

Try to DL the Chemistry pm's and install that - fails .. Finally give up with mobi2html because this is getting ridiculous and I really don't care about that particular utility - plan on using html2mobi ...

Now when I run html2mobi, it seems to overwrite html2mobi and I start getting "html2mobi: line 2: package: not found" (line 2 is "package GD::Image;"), "html2mobi: line 4: use: not found" (line 4 is "use strict;") and more errors ...

I have spent over 5 hours on this and it still doesn't work. I want to create some ebooks, not become and expert on Perl ....

Any thoughts on how to get this installed? Are there detailed instructions for the MobiPerl/Perl newbie? (doesn't assume I'm a perl expert). Is there a DL somewhere that has the COMPLETE package? Kindofa Load and Go?


TIA,

BD
