in reply to CPAN.pm broken on new MacPro?

I don't usually mess with the system perl (via CPAN etc). I build my own version from source for development and customisation. I think it's generally a good idea to leave the system perl alone.

(system perl = the version installed by your UNIX distribution from the official packages)

    i can confirm that this problem exists in the macports version of perl, which is in theory completely separate from the system perl. i've got the same problem today: macupdate copied a bunch of PPC perl modules into my new intel mac. i finally gave up on trying to fix the system perl, but this seperate perl install is no cake either ... i will try the renaming suggestion above.
