Maybe. this case-preserving, yet case-insensitive nature of HFS(+) sometimes bites you when you are used to ffs and its variants (including UFS). * perl itself requires UFS to compile because of this * HEAD command of LWP command clobbers /usr/bin/head when you blindly install LWP via CPAN The first one comes with an easy solution. You simply make a UFS disk image and use it when you compile. * Second one is more of the problem of how you configure Perl installation. I consider standard "layout" for Perl on MacOS X too dangerous (do you hear me, Sanchez?) installbindir and installscriptdir should've been /usr/local/bin, not /usr/bin. For the time being I replace the layout of perl-related directory like FreeBSD convention, with "i368-freebsd" replaced with "darwin". But I would appreciate if the standard hint file is updated...
