I think it is "really broken", for example, how is apple going to
upgrade Perl to 5.8 without it breaking for people who've
installed XS
modules?

But doesn't that break anyway? When I went from 5.6.1 to 5.8.0 I had to redo all my modules. I'm not sticking up for Apple and their weird install plan. I'm just wondering if they don't see their Perl as a problem.

well, sure you have to recompile the XS modules, but you don't have to hunt through to find and erase them first. Pure Perl modules shouldn't be an issue.
