This sort of thing should build out of the box with the system perl. If you start customizing you'll need to set everything up by hand as you've discovered. > On the other hand, if one makes a simple, slimmed down SciPDL for Mac, > sooner or later someone will want that one custom module that is not a > part of SciPDL, and will have to turn to custom installation. I'm still unclear why you cannot build a PDL based on your system perl with your own install location. That should not affect any of the existing system perl stuff and would allow you to determine if any of the dependency issues are related to the configuration or what...
