I have read the thread about the perl patch
ld='MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc'
with
ld='env MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.3 cc'

I have a perl script that recurses through a given directory structure,
identifies files, and then reorganizes the files by placing them in a new
directory structure.
I use the cp or ditto commands to accomplish the last part.

I need to batch convert a hundred or so HTML pages to PDF on a regular
basis. I've looked on the web a bit, CPAN and the last year or so of
The Perl Journal, but I'm getting more confused the longer I search :-)
It looks like HTML::HTMLDoc is the way to go at this point. Can ...

Having somehow managed to install DBD::mysql on 10.3 without running
into the obstacles that others have described here - which is always
worrying - I now find that it  doesn't quite work. most functions are
fine, but it fails to get a correct last_insert_id: instead it returns

I have tried to install perl 5.8.2 on my powerbook running 10.2.
I used information on one of Apple's web pages to try this:
 http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/perl.html
Note that this page is for installing 5.8.0, but it seemed to work OK,

I am trying to write to a file when running the following Perl/CGI
script:
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

  $ perl5.8.0 -le '$! = -1728; print $^E+0 for 0,1'
  -1728

This appears to be fixed in perl5.8.1, in the RC3 version that ships with

I have recently done a clean installation of Panther (10.3.1), and I am
having some system problems. Since I primarily get into the (Unix)
system for Perl related stuff, I thought I'd ask your advice.
The default shell for Panther is bash. I had become accustomed to tcsh

has anyone had any success installing perlmagick on panther?
I'm using the fink-and-make method, which has always worked for me  
before and is succinctly described by Randal in  
http://nntp.x.perl.org/group/perl.macosx/3812

What would a new operating system be without the old problems from
yesteryear creeping back into the mix. New G5, 10.3 installed, running
5.8.1, and when attempting to CPAN "anything" I continually get:
Running make test

Has anyone manages to use the new built in faxing software (on Panther)
to send a fax from a perl script? I'd very much like to know how this
might be done.

Despite the instructions posted on Dan Kogai's site, I can't get
MacOSX::File to build on panther (Mac OS X 10.3.1 (7C107), with Xcode Tools
installed). Perl has not been modified at all since a clean install of
panther.

   I went to 5.61 on OS X 10.1.5 and now am having troubles with the implementation of mod_perl on this machine. I tried recompiling mod_perl for 5.61 but am still having problems.
   Anyone know of an easy way to go back to 5.60 ??
Thanks,

I am having problems loading Apple's supplied mod_perl in Panther with
the Apple supplied httpd. When running httpd, I get the "Cannot load
/usr/libexec/httpd/libperl.so into server: (reason unknown)" error
message. So I thought I would try and build my own mod_perl, however I
