I just upgraded from Mac OS X 10.6 to 10.8. I find that the version of perl which ships with 10.8 has Mac::Glue, Mac::Carbon etc. preinstalled, but it doesn't seem to be functional due to what I suspect are 32/64-bit architecture issues: 

[kw|~] perl5.12 -ce 'use Mac::Glue'

I tried "export VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes" but that didn't seem to make any difference. Is there any way to make Mac::Glue et al work with the built-in perl, or will I need to build my own perl? If the latter, what are the best compiler and linker flags to use?
