It compiled fine on 10.1.5 (only failing the same two db tests you saw) but it complains of `undefined symbols' when trying to use it (e.g. `perl -MCPAN -e shell' and compiling `perl Makefile.PL'). I get: dyld: perl Undefined symbols: _Perl_sv_2pv _perl_get_sv Apparently, "make install in Mac OS X doesn't always overwrite the Perl Shared library, which means that the old binarily incompatible version survives and that...refers to the Obsolete symbols" [1] Have tried `rm /Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.dylib' and re-issued make install but to no avail.
