Cool, thanks.
I downloaded it, and moved it to ~/bin which is in my path.
When I run it with no arguments to get to help for it, I get
errors, which reference macports, which I should not, since I am
using the built in perl in OS X.
$whereis perl
/usr/bin/perl
I think I am sort of seeing what is going on here. perl -V is using
the macports version for some reason. would think that `perl`
needs to continue to use the OS X perl, and that I would need to
call out the /opt/local/bin/perl when I want to use the MacPorts one.
If you list /opt/local/bin first in your path, before /usr/bin, then
sure, MacPorts perl will be used (in your Terminal) in preference to
Apple perl. Same for any other program that exists in both
locations. That's the whole reason we recommend putting (and set up
for you, in the default .profile) /opt/local/bin first in the path
-- so that you get MacPorts versions where available, since they are
usually newer.
Duh, sorry, I do not know why I did not see that. I was just looking
at order of definition of the PATH, not the actual order inside each
path. I have a new echo'd out path of
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/me:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/
Users/me/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin
perl -V is now showing what I want
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level

/Library/Perl/5.8.8/darwin-thread-multi-2level

Thanks for all the help on this one.
