Please download and test the perl 5.8.0 distribution available from: http://nathan.torkington.com/tmp/perl5.8.0gnat1.dmg
It installs Perl, Berkeley DB 4.1.25, DB_File 1.42 and Time::HiRes 1.42 into /usr/local/perl5-8. You'll need to add /usr/local/perl5-8/bin to your path, probably in your .cshrc. Be warned: it's a 12M download. With the help of Fink, I managed to totally trash my system. I reinstalled yesterday, and went through the hassle of building Perl 5.8.0 all over again. I figured I'd save other folks that hassle. Cheers; Nat
