I suggest installing the xcode package from the original
installation DVS, then pick up the on-line update. I think the
one must sign up to Apple's free developer program to get to the
on-line updates.
The update includes fixes to gcc that caused gnu-tar to fail
building, but I don't remember the exact details.
I just did a couple of quick checks of perldoc on my PPC Titanium
Powerbook running leopard, and it works fine.
