I'm running against the system perl with a local::lib on my home mac  
here.

Works fine and that's probably easiest.

I've also got a 5.10.0 and a bleadperl and a couple of others kicking  
around, but I mostly use system perl for development just cause I'm  
lazy and it was easy. (Wiki note may be appropriate re Mac::Carbon  
and leopard however, I'm still on Tiger)

Note that both fink and macports seem to be quite enthusiastic about  
building a perl and shoving it at the front of your PATH, which will  
ruin your day.

Other than that, it should 'just work'.
