I have not yet found a packaging system (macports, fink, pkgsrc, homebrew, ...) that copes well with the needs of serious Perl coding on OS X. They all eventually fall over, in my experience[*]. If you do more than casual Perl hacking, do yourself a favor. Install perlbrew, then install cpanminus (bundled with perlbrew). As an added bonus, set up a private CPAN mirror (either a mini or the whole magilla) and tell cpanminus how to find it. Congratulate yourself. Don't look back. You won't regret it. [*] The macports-installed Perl has worked OK for me for the occasional modules that are required by other ports. Those should get proper testing as part of creation/test of the ports in question.
