Just compiled perlbrew with the new Xcode (downloaded from the AppStore):

Vigor14:~ clt$ perlbrew install perl-5.14.1
Fetching perl-5.14.1 as /Users/clt/perl5/perlbrew/dists/perl-5.14.1.tar.gz
Installing /Users/clt/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.14.1 into ~/perl5/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1

This could take a while. You can run the following command on another shell to track the status:

  tail -f ~/perl5/perlbrew/build.log

Installed /Users/clt/perl5/perlbrew/build/perl-5.14.1 as perl-5.14.1 successfully. Run the following command to switch to it.

  perlbrew switch perl-5.14.1
