It's better to leave the Apple-provided 5.6.0 where it is and install 5.8.0 elsewhere unless you really know what you're doing. I was kind of guessing that. Is there any favored place? Should I just punt and use /opt ? The only remaining question is whether or not you should link /usr/bin/perl to your 5.8.0 install. Remember that OS X uses perl as part of its normal functioning, so you need to make sure that /usr/bin/perl always works the way it's expected to...even when that includes broken behavior, as in the Apple(!) installer that expected /usr/bin/perl to accept EQ as a valid operator (5.6.0 does, 5.8.0 doesn't) Yeah, deprecation is a bear when people don't read the docs, ain't it? :-) dha -- David H.

This is the HFS case-insensitivity issue (Makefile and makefile equivalent). Is that different from doing sh Configure -Dfirstmakefile=GNUmakefile? If not (if it is, I'll be surprised...), then the problem lies elsewhere. Yeah, I believe it's different. If you look at the hints/darwin.sh file, you'll notice that it just blows away all the configuration variables you might have set with -D on the command line. Compare that with more modern versions of the same file, which only override settings if you haven't modified them. Well, whether or not it's different, it didn't help. I've now tried passing that option as a -D switch, as a line in darwin.sh and both at the same time. nada. It still dies on trying to make Dynaloader.

That gave me the -Dldflags=-flat_namespace which seems to have been the culprit. Make went fine. Then it got all weird... Since some of the tests failed, I went to the t/ directory to run ./perl harness, as it suggests. This gave me: Perl lib version (v5.6.1) doesn't match executable version (v5.6.0) at ../lib/Config.pm line 21. Huh? I go to check the perl that's in there and... localhost% cd perl-5.6.1/t/ localhost% ./perl -v This is perl, v5.6.0 built for darwin WHAT??? I'm going to attempt downloading this again, but as far as I can tell, this *is* the 5.6.1 tarball. *sigh* Keep the goats on standby... dha -- David H.

Ok. having renamed the existing directories as suggested in your other post, t/perl harness now gives me: dyld: ./perl can't open library: /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Joy. :-/ Well, I give up for the night.
