Hi Michael,

Eureka!

I don't know how this happened but I have 2 versions of perl.  
Apparently. OS X comes wtih 5.8.6 and installs it in /usr/bin. I also  
have 5.8.8 which is in /usr/local/bin.

I obviously have a very confused installation and at this point I  
guess I need to know which should I use and how do I straighten this  
mess out?
