I have banged my head against this one for a few days but can't get perl 5.10.1, 2.2.14, mod_perl 2.0.5-dev working on Snow Leopard. There are some other similar problems you will find for Snow Leopard through Google, with ruby, python, etc., but none of those have led to a fix for this problem.
Here are the relevant errors, any advice appreciated: ph...@pooky ~/dev/svn/sl/trunk/SL-App $ perl bin/sl_app Starting in DEBUG mode Starting with command: /Users/phred/dev/sl/trunk/SL-App/bin/httpd -f /Users/phred/dev/sl/trunk/SL-App/conf/httpd_app.conf -k start httpd: Syntax error on line 32 of /Users/phred/dev/sl/trunk/SL-App/conf/httpd_app.conf: Cannot load /Users/phred/dev/sl/httpd2/modules/mod_perl.so into server: dlopen(/Users/phred/dev/sl/httpd2/modules/mod_perl.so, 10): no suitable image found.
