in reply to OT Post: Help building 5.6.1 on MacOS X

I know you're building 5.6.1, but if you can move up to 5.7.3, it should work out of the box.

Quoting from the 5.7.3 perldelta


MacOS X (or Darwin) should now be able to build Perl even on HFS+ filesystems. (The case-insensitivity confused the Perl build process.)

    Thanks for the tip. But how stable is 5.7.3?

    I use this box to build perl projects at home, that I plan on running on my production systems at work (running 5.6.1). I need to be sure I'm troubleshooting my perl code (still a novice), not a developer distribution. Is 5.7.3 solid enough for this use or do I wait for 5.8.x which is also supposed to have the OSX install woes fixed?

    -Rich

      5.7.3 is a release candidate for 5.8.0.

      I think it's probably pretty decent. I haven't had any trouble with it, but I'm not stressing it.
