Mac Forum / Programming / Perl / April 2008

I don't know if anyone 'does' it, but I did it, and it worked alright.
I did a kind of bs job though, and I did it about 5 times (I was
exploring... what?). I don't know if its changed in the past couple
weeks, but I noticed that it doesn't actually call the interpreter '/
opt/local/bin/perl,' but '/opt/local/bin/perl5.10.0'. So you might
want to pull a 'ln -s perl5.10.0 perl' for the sake of not having to
rewrite the #! lines in your scripts, but if you don't remember that
you have to include the full name of the interpreter at the top of
your scripts.

Blah blah blah. It won't build universal. You have to change the
dependencies of stuff that thinks it needs perl 5.8 by editing the
portfiles (that's something that may have changed in the past weeks).

You've got me curious. Going for time # 6!
