Sigh...  Skip it; I found the answer after I had a brief nap (that happens 
a lot with me).


Short answer: read the Perl IO::Handle page a little more fully before 
posting a silly question...

Of Perl and "h2ph"

I can understand having to do this if one is installing Perl from sources 
to a new platform, but should this not be part of the Perl port to 
MacPorts?


I didn't seem to require it on the FreeBSD port, and yes, I'm gonna be 
comparing the two a lot as I bring a lot of my FreeBSD stuff over to the 
Mac as well...  (And I won't even start on the Penguin breakage.)
