Hm. I have spent the last hour or so attempting to get this to work, but I cannot seem to get Perl to update. I have located the 5.10 directory under /usr/local/ActiveState-5.10 but I cannot get Eclipse to recognize it. I even tried Eclipse and EasyEclipse. Does anyone have any other IDE suggestions for Mac OSX? Perhaps something a little more user friendly. I feel so discouraged, I can't even get it to point to the interpreter, and all I can say is print 'hello world' haha.
