Perl notes from upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

Phred on 2008-01-05T20:38:48

While trying to install Crypt::SSLeay on Leopard (had upgraded from tiger), I ran into make failures. Actually, gcc, make, etc were missing from the upgrade! Ended up grabbing XCode 3.0, installing, reinstalling libs with macports, and everything is back to normal.


Tools left over from Tiger

The DevTools come in another package that you have to install yourself.

My situation was a bit different: all the tools were there, but they were the old Tiger tools. It took me about a day to figure out all of the strange compilation errors.

After that, the old ._HEY_YOU_CANT_SEE_ME files started popping back up in my CPAN dists. The old COPY_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES_DISABLE is COPYFILE_DISABLE in Leopard. :(
