OK, now I feel officially stUpid. (Cue replay of The Beast trying to
eat soup with a spoon in Beauty and the Beast...) In my defense, I was
using CPAN and trusting it to discover and build dependencies. I am
learning this is an oft-flawed strategy. Since I'm using 5.8.0 in the
interest of the best Unicode support I can get, I will follow the hints
you gave me on it.
I really appreciate all the help.
Sweet dreams,

PS I am excited to see Perl installation on MacOS X has gotten install
directories numbered with the version number so multiple different
versions can be maintained simultaneously ... I actually submitted this
issue to Apple on the feedback page last weekend. Based on fixes I've
seen, I believe they do read feedback. On a side note, the web site
for the upcoming O'Reilly/MacOS X conference says most of the Perl6
core team is using MacOS X for development ... so we should have
well-building Perl6 when it arrives :-)
