Troubles with Perl6::Rules

[Martin Streicher]

I built a brand-new Perl 5.8.3 on Mac OS X Panther Server in an attempt
to eradicate glitches in testing Perl6::Rules. My transcript is below.
The same errors occurred on Red Hat 9 under 5.8.3, too.

Damian says his builds on Panther are AOK. I am wondering if anyone
else has seen these problems and has fixed them?

I was able to correct the problem. My error seemed to stem from using
the older version of Perl instead of the new one (placing the new path
ahead of everything else worked it out.

On Panther Server, I was able to build Perl 5.8.3 with no problems. I
installed into a new place called /Local and went from there.
