If you are able to wade back in time on this list there are many good suggestions.
darwin.sh, (unless it has been updated without notice) has a couple of things you need to look into. 1. it will set the ldflags to -undefined suppress but not also to -flat_namespace. you will need both on the line where it also says -bundle. in the manual config you can fix this when the question about "what additional flags are required to operate your linker?" appears. NOTE: (on a separate note, I just tried to remove those two invocations from my configuration and ended up with exactly what David has seen. No dynamic modules will build under (twolevel...the default setting). [according to the docs a directive which explains to the compiler what to do in the case of (multiple definitions=some instructions) might be needed to fix this issue. I am not yet confident that I even understand how to operate or prepare for that issue yet...but working on it... Also, what is the ramification of building system Modules as static??? Don't know yet.] 2. Darwin, MaxOSX server, and MacOSX are not exactly equal. The other ones use a /Local/Library/Perl directory and MacOSX uses /Library/Perl you should watch for this line if it matters to you. (which means if you are planning to lay the new install in exactly where the old one was...change it) 3. Back in OSX10.0x and PB there were several reports that removing the /Library/Perl and /System/Library/Perl before "make install" seems like a beneficial thing. There were several instances of undefined symbols showing up. However individual mileage might vary. I found it useful to go through the configuration process manually (useful, but tiring, that is...) and fixing what you can during that process, and then editing the config.sh when given the opportunity. 4. you can also get some further information about what settings to use by looking at "perl -V" before you blow the old one away. Apple seems to have added -flat_namespace to the CCFlags as well, but I do not think that is necessary. 5. Then, you will have 4 errors in the test when you make test. 6. When you set up CPAN make sure to include the -flat_namespace directive in there as well. It must be all in the archives of this list... hopefully with more clarity than I have presented here.
