Re: New Perl-Installation on new OS X

xCode 4 should have been included with your new Mac.  Check in the Optional
Application install disc.

Re: New Perl-Installation on new OS X

I had a similar problem with my new MacBook Pro but I haven't had the time
to look into it further.

I use MacPort and I ended up deleting everything from MacPort before
re-installing everything.

As for deleting Perl from /usr/bin that is a VERY BAD IDEA.  That came as
part of the Apple OS so it's used by Apple for software install and
upgrades.  Never ever delete anything installed by Apple.
