 Anyone got a clue for me on how to build perl (5.8.8 or 5.10.0) on OS X
 10.5/Intel?  It's being bad naughty software and failing gdbm-ish tests.

I got mine of both flavours from MacPorts.

You can't make 5.10 the default in MacPorts however, all of the Perl
modules in Macports currently install against 5.8.

 My sister is a mac user (a relatively recent convert), running her own

 Ideally she wants a phone that can sync her diary and contacts from the
 mac, but all the models she has found seem to be geared towards Windoze
 lookout. She wants to be mobile with full email and calendar facilities.

 Can anybody recommend a solution? Even the helpful guy in the Apple shop
 was struggling with this one.

iPhone?

Blackberry sponsors a Mac-native app that supports all of the Apple
tools (iCal, Mail, Sticky Notes), as well as tools from other vendors
(MeetingMaker comes to mind).  It's called PocketSync, and it's
available from the RIM/Blackberry website.

Thanks,
