4/26    Trying to compile Perl on Darwin, I'm stuck on this line:
        ar -rc bar2.a bar2.o bar1.o
        Any reason why? ok thx
        \- did you run into problems with the case-insensitivity on the
           mac file system? that's probably a different problem but somthing
           i ran into building perl a while ago. --psb
           \_ Starting with 10.3, you can turn "on" case-sensitivity on HFS+,
              but there is no gurrantee that it won't create more problems
              than it solve.  By the way, how did you manage to compile perl
              eventually?
              \- the general view seems to be fmting the fs with
                 the case sensitivity option is asking for trouble as a
                 number of tools dont expect this, such as some backup
                 software. re: perl ... not's not hard to get around once
                 you figure out what is doing on, e.g. configure = Configure =
                 CONFIGURE. --psb
        \_ mac osx doesn't have perl included as a default??
           \_ he's referring to Darwin, not OS X.
