I've had some trouble lately getting Perl to install properly

several packages I wish to install). I've included the output

but it seems that the perl installer isn't looking anywhere for my
c lib. I know I have one, and I even recently upgraded the perl
install in my base system without any troubles,
How do you mean, upgraded the perl install in your base system?
I built perl from source, uninstalled the old version (in /usr) and
installed the new version where the old one was.
That's what I thought you meant. It's probably not a good idea to mess
with software in /usr because that was all provided by Apple. Not only
is it probably integral to the proper functioning of your operating
system, Apple believes it is in control of updating those components
and might wipe out your changes in a future OS update. Better install
your own versions of software elsewhere.
but port can't seem to manage to figure things out. I'm a recent
mac convert (coming from Gentoo) and I'm not terribly familiar
with macports, so I'm a little lost on how to fix this one
myself. If anyone could give me some idea of how to fix this, I'd
be eternally grateful.

I can't seem to find your C library. I've looked in the following
places:
I see you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8. What version of Xcode is
installed? The latest version for Leopard is 3.1.4.
I'm using 3.1.13
I assume you mean either 3.1.1 or 3.1.3. :) Either of those is
probably fine.
I don't know why perl wouldn't be able to find your C library. What
"following places" did it say it looked for the C library in?
I see one other report of this problem, which was closed as
"worksforme" after the reporter provided no additional details:
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19244
Are you able to install other ports? Try something simple like expat
or zlib.
