#138: Haskell platform for Mac OS X depends on non-standard perl install
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  dmp       |       Owner:  dons
     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new 
 Priority:  major     |   Milestone:      
Component:  Platform  |    Keywords:      
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 The {{{ghc-asm}}} script has a {{{#!/opt/local/bin/perl}}} which is the
 perl installed by macports and not the one included by default with the
 os. If perl is not installed by macports, this will cause an error message
 like:

 {{{
 ghc: could not execute:
 /Library/Frameworks/GHC.framework/Versions/612/usr/lib/ghc-6.12.3/ghc-asm
 }}}

 when trying to use the C backend. I think the platform should not depend
 on a macports version of perl.

 It looks like the {{{ghc-split}}} script also referencs the non-standard
 perl install location.
