I had thought that the shared libperl provided by Apple was actually used
by at least one other common application (and that not breaking that
application was part of the background for Apple's original choice of
installation location for their shared libperl). I've never used Mac OS
X, so I don't have any firsthand knowledge either way.

Since useshrplib='false' is the default anyway, I suggest the following
minor editorial change:
diff -u perl-5.8.x/hints/darwin.sh perl-5.8.x-andy/hints/darwin.sh
