Note that this is not an issue any more in 3.7 since we dropped the configure
macro based on Perl -v, but it could be worth patching this for 3.6 for MacOSX
users.

Hi Daniel,
I hope you had a good trip.
I'm trying to tie up some loose ends so that I can finally add a
mapserver wiki page for building on os x. I have a problem with
configure and I am wondering whether to put a workaround in the howto
or if it is feasible to change the configure script.
The problem is that the perl -V output from the perl installed with os
x is not handled properly so that PHP_LD is left as /bin/true and the
php mapscript linking doesn't get done.
In line 5365 of configure, PERL_LDDLFLAGS=`grep ' lddlflags' perl.out
| cut -d, -f2 | cut -d\' -f2 | grep -v undef` is returning a blank. I'm
including the os x perl -V output so you can see for yourself but the
if I modify the line to be
PERL_LDDLFLAGS `grep ' lddlflags' perl.out |cut -d\' -f4` it picks up
the right flags (-bundle -flat_namespace -undefined suppress).
I didn't want to start hacking around with it because I'd surely break
it for some other platform. Any ideas?
