Well I figured out the problem with my application, but I don't understand why this was the problem.

The solution was to change the bang line at the top of the script. Even though I was launching the script manually with "wxPerl Alchemist" (Alchemist is the name of the script), it was for some reason using what was in the bang line (which was /usr/local/bin/ wxPerl -w), and relaunching itself over and over again. If I remove the bang line, or set it to /usr/bin/perl it works OK, but /usr/bin/ perl is the default 5.10.0 version that came with Snow Leopard, not the newly compiled version in /usr/local. I'm mystified, but at least its working.

FYI, if I put the /usr/local/bin/wxPerl back in the bang line and try to run the script by just executing it (i.e. ./Alchemist) it fails as well.

Is there something up with the wxPerl binary that is causing this?

Any other thoughts on what I could be missing? Is there a command line option I could pass the Makefile.PL script that will allow me to tell it where to look for these files?

Hi Daniell,

Not really answer, but it might help if you could post your /usr/ local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/darwin-2level/Alien/wxWidgets/ Config/mac_2_8_10_gcc_3_4.pm
