Does anyone know what version of Perl RT 4.x prefers?
I worked out a good recipe for installing RT 3.x on Mac OS X Server 10.6 which involved giving RT it's own copy of perl 5.8.9, built exactly the way RT wants.
RT 3.x won't compile on Perl 5.12 and wants Perl built single-threaded and with other special options -- giving RT a private Perl install to chew on works fine, however. The RT docs don't seem to have been updated in a long time.
Lion Server ships with 5.12.3, but running CPAN on Apple's default Perl install can leave your server non-functional with no way to get back w/o reinstalling the OS.
I'm about to build a new server based on 10.7 (Lion) and plan on bringing up a fresh RT instance -- since I'm giving RT a private Perl, would like to give it exactly what it wants.
If anyone wants it, I'll post the recipe once I get the server back on line. Thanks, -Steve -------- RT Training Sessions (http://bestpractical.com/services/training.html) * Boston March 5 & 6, 2012
