Re: Customary Perl setup on Apple Mac OS X?

Honestly, I've never had much trouble with the Perl build that comes with the OS, other than it not being 5.10 (it's actually 5.8, if I'm not mistaken).

That said, recompiling it is very straightforward assuming you have the developer tools installed (xcode, etc), since that contains all the make tools and c compilers. It should be the same process as building perl on *nix:

./Configure
make
make test
make install

Systems development is like banging your head against a wall...
It's usually very painful, but if you're persistent, you'll get through it.
