I second Florian's comments - the instructions below are NOT for the latest
version of OOo, and in fact are out of date (I started working on updating
the instructions, but I haven't completed the job - perhaps I should post
what I have to this mailing list).

You shouldn't need to do anything with JAVA_HOME for OOo v1.1.x on Mac OS X
- configure does all that automatically. Just make sure you have the Java
SDK installed (this is in addition to the end-user Java pieces that you
have installed).

This doesn't seem like an issue that should be encountered while building
OOo 1.1.x on Mac OS X, unless you removed Perl, or did a custom Mac OS X
install without Perl. It might be a different story with OOo 2.0, but then
as per above, you are using the wrong instructions.
