A native intel program can't load a ppc binary (like Expat.bundle). Similarly, a ppc program running in Rosetta can't load an intel binary. In the native or Rosetta environments, there can be no mixing of binaries.

You should probably move aside (or remove) the stuff in /Library/Perl/ 5.8.6 (leaving the AppendToPath file), or at least the ones that have .bundle files. Then you'll have to reinstall those CPAN modules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --

I used the Apple Migration Assistant to move my data from my PPC machine to the MacBook Pro.

Trying to run a simple perl script (requiring XML-RPC, DBI, and DBD- mysql) with the installed Apple Perl, I get errors like this:

If I try to install XML-RPC with CPAN, I get a similar kind of failure:

I tried installing ActiveState Perl, but I get this:

Arggh! What's the right way to get my perl environment working on OSX 10.4.5 Intel Core Duo architecture? Do I need to install a parallel version of perl from source?

THanks,
