But I am now wishing I'd paid more attention to recent discussions of OSX-related stuff. I seem to recall some issues with Xcode 4 and compiled CPAN modules? And some references to something called perlbrew? Some of this I've learned a bit about with the help of The Google, but if anyone can offer me some tips they'd be most appreciated (and duly rewarded with drink the next time I'm in London). The problem here isn't lack of information, rather the problem is over-abundance of it. And much of what I find on Google is years old, and the problems I'm vaguely remembering seemed more recent than that...

$ . ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc
$ perlbrew install perl-5.14.0
$ perlbrew install-cpanm


Long version at http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?App::perlbrew
