The alternative is to use the Perl that's already installed on users' machines. But, in order to do that, end users would have to install the version of the CamelBones framework that's linked against the version of libperl.dylib that they have. And, they'd have to update the framework every time Apple updates the installed Perl.Would it be possible for a developer to include several compiled copies of an XS module in version-specific @INC directories like lib/5.6.1/darwin, and then whichever version was the correct one to link against the user's version would be used?
I'm not sure this is best (for instance, there are other libperl differences besides just version), but maybe it's possible and would handle the vast majority of the cases, while greatly reducing distribution size?
