What sort of trouble? I don't have access to my 10.4.4 machine from the office, but I have my own version of Perl and I don't think I rebuilt it after installing Tiger - nor have I run into trouble with it. What I don't recall is which version of gcc I used to build it; I have sometimes upgraded GCC independently of Apple's code (though I'm currently using Xcode 2.2). If you need to use gcc-3.3 instead, but Perl identifies its compiler (in 'perl -V' output) as 'gcc', then you'll have to rework thing so that gcc maps to gcc-3.3 -- either by creating a symlink gcc in (for example) $HOME/bin (assuming $HOME/bin appears before /usr/bin on your PATH) or by replacing the symlink in /usr/bin at least temporarily.
