Thanks :-)... I use fink for self-contained little tools and stuff like  
that, but not for Apache and Subversion, because I need to control my  
build-time options for those.  I did just use fink to get the latest  
available Perl (5.8.6), and reran configure in subversion with  
PERL=/sw/bin/perl.  After rebuilding swig-pl, I did "make  
check-swig-pl", and now I get this error:

----------------------------------------

Now, my subversion/bindings/perl/native/blib/lib contains Base.pm,  
Repos.pm, Ra.pm, etc...

Any idea what the problem might be?  I know this probably isn't the  
right place to ask, but I thought somebody might just know — if not,  
I'll try to find the appropriate forum to post my question :-/  I had  
everything else working before my upgrade to perl 5.8.6, except that  
"svk" itself printed error messages that looked to me that they might  
be related to an old version of perl, so at that point I decided to  
quit screwing around with this perl 5.8.1 that came with the OS X  
distribution.  The problems with "make check-swig-pl" are all since I  
upgraded, so I must have botched something.  Note, I did "make  
clean-swig-pl" before trying to rebuild.

Any clues?  Thx...
