Why would it be painful to compile perl and its modules as a fat

support Darwin/x86 calling conventions ...
If all that works out perfectly, then the problem's not fatal.
But... that's a *lot* of ifs, and even if it's not fatal, it will
still be a substantial amount of work, for a project that's already
been a lot of work already.
Please don't get me wrong folks! I'm profoundly grateful for the
moral support you've given me over the past several years, but the
plain fact is, I'm between a rock and a hard place. I have to take a
cold hard look at what I'm doing, and decide whether it's helping me
find a job and get out of the hole I'm in - and if it can't, whether
the time spent doing it would be better spent doing something that will.
