John,
A few questions:
Did you do an upgrade install of Panther?
Since Panther uses a different version of perl, you will need to
reinstall any libraries that you relied on. I would recommend
hand-installing these libraries again, paying close attention to any
warnings or errors generated by make test.
Does Panther really have 5.8.0? I'd have thought it would have 5.8.1.
You may also want to try running your program outside of an NSTask. If
your program runs outside of an NSTask, then the problem likely does
not lie in perl, but maybe something else that happens within your
NSTask?
Just a few ideas... I'm certainly no expert, so I would appreciate any
corrections if I have mis-informed.

Hi all-
I have written an application that makes use of Perl to perform much
of its magic. In 10.1 and 10.2 this was working without a hitch, but
the new Panther is giving my program a fit. Specifically, I have
embedded much of libwww within my application bundle and then written
a script which makes use of it. When I run the script within an
NSTask, I find the following problem:
dyld: perl Undefined symbols:
_PL_curpad
_PL_errgv
... many more undefined symbols...
_perl_get_hv
_perl_get_sv
Trace/BPT trap
I have searched cocoa.mamasam.com and done some googling without luck.
Most of the info I have found says that the undefined symbols issue
has to do with incompatible libraries. My guesses are these:
1. My libwww is old and now broken in Perl 5.8.0 (which ships with
Panther)
2. Something is broken in the default Perl install in Panther.
I know there are a few Perl experts on this list (myself not among
them) - if anyone can shed any light on this issue, I would be very
grateful. Sorry for such a non-cocoa question!
John
