I was able to compile, though there were test errors. I'm _not_ using
File::HomeDir, so I can't comment on that part of the problem. I am
using the process functionality successfully, though.

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for darwin-2level

There may be something odd about the system, though. As part of the
configuration I loaded everything possible from a PowerPC Mac running
Panther. I completely blew away /usr/local afterwards, removed (using
the remove script) and reinstalled X tools, and removed (by rm -rfv)
and reinstalled X11, trying (unsuccessfully) to get Tk to work.

Maybe someone with a more normal system has succeeded?
