Is this an HFS+ partition? I've been building foolsperl on my UFS
partition and haven't had any problems besides a few failed tests.
If you have a UFS or access to an NFS mount, you may want to try it
there. I don't know why HFS+ would be causing problems, since I know
they're careful to allow Perl to build on a case insensitive file
system.
