Ahh thanks, that's good to know.  However, Apple's 5.8.8 seems to have both defined:

$ /usr/bin/perl -V|grep config_args
     config_args='-ds -e -Dprefix=/usr -Dccflags=-g  -pipe 
-Dldflags=-Dman3ext=3pm -Duseithreads -Duseshrplib'

So there must be some patch that gets this working.  Is there a URL where Apple 
keeps its source code of open source packages?  We could merge all their patches 
into our 5.8.8.
