working on a simple installer distro for newer Perls.  Did that ever

I've been thinking of building a 5.8.0 installer package that includes a copy of CamelBones. I'd configure it to install in /opt, as Apple's advice to install 5.8.0 in /Library/Perl is only appropriate for a "clean" system with no CPAN modules installed. If you've installed some CPAN modules with 5.6.0, they're in /Library/Perl, so installing 5.8.0 into the same location will be "interesting," to say the > least...
I took that root for my darwinport port of Perl 5.8. Once you've installed darwinports, perl 5.8 in /opt/local is just a "port install perl5.8" away.

I've been meaning to add some additional perl variants when I get time, including a debug perl, a threaded perl, etc.

Anyway - is anyone interested in such a bundle?

I would, but be aware the darwinports goes into /opt/local by default.

I could help you write a darwinports port, or you could help me...shouldn't be that hard I guess. :)
