in reply to Solving XS and dyld issues on Perl Mac OS X

I recommend perlbrew over relying on macports' perl. Many other ports rely on it's version of perl, so using a cpan tool with that version can mess things up, just as with the system version. Also, do you have example of which CPAN modules fails on OSX. I've never had any problems with the many XS modules I've installed and developed, except for EV, which was just the author being refusing to workaround a compiler bug.

    Only the references to MySQL and Oracle modules and a few other mostly seemed that users were using source instead of the CPAN that came with their distro of Perl. My findings as mentioned in the OP were encountered whilst creating an XS modules on the Mac which for me was a first and I never had these problems in Linux.

    I use the CPAN shell all the time with my MacPorts Perl and have never noticed any conflicts with system Perl. Could you please expand a little on how these problems may happen?

      :) yeah, all those problems are getting the wrong binary packages and trying to mix them with other incompatible binary packages -- nothing perl specific except perl was involved

        Perl ... and quite a bit of voodoo.   A good tutorial on this subject will be well received and frequently consulted.

    Did that ever get solved? Did you find a way to work around it?
