I would recommend using the IRC chat or SDL mailing list found here: http://sdl.perl.org/index.html
At least one of the members that is working on the development side is coding on a Mac as well (Unfortunately I don't remember the name). kthakore is generally in the IRC channel most of the time and I've found him to be quite helpful.
