Can't Build Perl 5.6.1, need help

[Gray Fox]

Greetings,

I have a new Mac running MacOS X 10.1.3 and the Developer Dec 11 Tools.

I downloaded the stable version of perl 5.6.1. I tried following the recipe
given in the earlier thread "How-to: Compile Perl 5.6.1"

The result was a disaster!

During the preprocessing their were complaints about MASK being redefined.
Compilation seems to go OK.

When ever a link is done, it hits the fan:
cc -o libperl.dylib -L/usr/local/lib -dynamiclib -compatibility_version 1 -current_version 5.0 -image_base 0x4be00000 -install_name /System/Library/Perl/darwin/CORE/libperl.dylib perl.o gv.o toke.o perly.o op.o regcomp.o dump.o util.o mg.o hv.o av.o run.o pp_hot.o sv.o pp.o scope.o pp_ctl.o pp_sys.o doop.o doio.o regexec.o utf8.o taint.o deb.o universal.o xsutils.o globals.o perlio.o perlapi.o

Help!

OK, I went back and did a make realclean and deleted the config.sh
files, changed from bash to tcsh and reconfiged with the suggested
flags, did a make and got all of the way through. ( Still had the
complaints about MASK being redefined.)

This time I ran make test and got:

******************************************
Question: Are these the "known" errors, is it safe to install?

I used to make Perl a long time ago, seems like I had to run
some program h2ph(?) on all of the header files in order to get
many modules to compile.

Any suggestions on postinstallation cleanup?

Thanks,

Ok,

I have been browsing the /System/Library/Perl directory...

It contains a buncho Apache "Stuff". Will installing Perl over the
top of the existing Perl wipe out or invalidate the existing Apache
module stuff?

Don't want to try rebuilding Apache till my feet get used to the
water

Thanks
