Running mysqltuner on Mac OSX

Question

I use Zend Server CE on my Mac running OSX Snow Leopard for my development environment. I need to tune up MySQL and have used mysqltuner.pl in the past on Linux servers to do pre- and post-testing.

I downloaded the script and get the following errors when I run it:

couldn't find diagnostic data in /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/pods/perldiag.pod /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0 /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Network/Library/Perl/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /Network/Library/Perl/5.10.0 /Network/Library/Perl /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0/darwin-thread-multi-2level /System/Library/Perl/Extras/5.10.0 . ./mysqltuuner.pl at /System/Library/Perl/5.10.0/diagnostics.pm line 268, <POD_DIAG> line 647.
Compilation failed in require at ./mysqltuuner.pl line 42, <POD_DIAG> line 647.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./mysqltuuner.pl line 42, <POD_DIAG> line 647.

Snow Leopard has perl and I have the XCode Development Tools installed.

It looks like I am missing some Perl modules. I have tried to CPAN the files, but I'm not a Perl wonk and I think I might have screwed up my Perl install now.

Any ideas???

Looks like something in there is using the diagnostics module, which requires the perl documentation to function correctly. I'm guessing the perl documentation is a separately installable component from perl itself in OS X.
