I know there's a lot of people here that use Perl and I'm having trouble finding an answer or fixing my problem. Basically, Perl has packed up on my machine:

steve% perl -MCPAN -eshell
dyld: perl Undefined symbols:
_Perl_sv_2pv
_perl_get_sv
Trace/BPT trap

Does anyone know what that means or how to fix it? I've just tried re-compiling Perl and it's made no difference.

Trace/BPT trap

Should do the trick.

"dyld: perl Undefined symbols" means than a shared library is failing to load correctly. you on OSX?
