Out of curiosity, is the first part (recompiling Perl) something
you must do because Apple ships a 64 bit Perl?
Nope,
Apple perl is compiled in 3 different archs: 32bit, 64bit and ppc.
Rome:finance-quote ec$ file /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/perl: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures
/usr/bin/perl (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/bin/perl (for architecture i386): Mach-O executable i386
/usr/bin/perl (for architecture ppc7400): Mach-O executable ppc
I compile Perl myself just to have the latest version
Rome:finance-quote ec$ /usr/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.0 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
5.10.0 is known to be somewhat buggy..
