[Boston.pm] Porting perl + perl app from linux to OS X?

I’m running a perl app with its own lean and mean packaging of perl and libs (to minimize portability issues) on  linux and MSWin.  I’d like to port this whole package (i.e. the linux version + lean perl) to  OS X if it’s reasonable.  I took a brief look at what the web has to say on the subject.  Overall my take from that reading is that it’s a mess and a non-trivial task given the Darwin/BSD origins of OS X, compiler and ‘make’ compatibility issues, differing compile-time options,  etc., etc.    Is this a fair assessment or have I missed something?  Anyone have experience doing this?  

I don’t want to get many days down into a rat hole only to find that there are weeks or months left to go.  

PS:  Commandline + browser user interface app only, no GUI, only extremely basic linux and shell features.
