[sf-perl] BerkeleyDB.pm on Mac OS X

[Vicki Brown]

Are we doing something unbelievably stupid?

We recently migrated everything from a FreeBSD server to Mac OS X
(10.4.8). One of Rich's web apps is complaining

Can't locate BerkeleyDB.pm in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/darwin-2level /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at
...

OK, so we (re?)installed BerkeleyDB, the latest because why not and then
(when we still got the error) tried
    cpan install BerkeleyDB


Ooooo. It's scary to see that many compile errors scroll past. :-(

Anyone? Help?
