sudo cpan App::cpanminus
However I receive the following error:

Based on this post I tried what they suggested, and got the following:

I'm using OS X Version 10.7.5 and gcc version 4.2.1.
Any help as to what is going wrong?
/System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi- 2level/CORE/config.hare not an artefact of the way you're copy'n'pasting, then you need to find out why you have the spaces or tabs in the name. If they are an artefact, then you need to investigate why you don't have/System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/config.hpresent. It's there OK on my Mac OS X 10.7.5 machine — though I'm using my own Perl 5.16.2 rather than the system Perl 5.12.3. I can tradeperl -Voutput with you if you think that will help. – Jonathan Leffler Jan 30 '13 at 1:18/Users/sucadmin/.cpanm/build.logrelative to cpanm installation failure? – smonff Aug 22 '13 at 4:44
