I just tried to build 5.6.1 on Mac OSX (v10.0.3) and ran into the problem where everything *seemed* to go well except that the Makefile was never actually created from Makefile.SH (even though I got a message to that effect on console).
After much playing around\, I realized that on OSX\, if you format the disk for Apple HFS+ format (vs. Unix UFS)\, then the filesystem is NOT really case sensitive (although you do see case).
For example\, if I 'touch FOO' and then 'touch foo'\, I only see FOO in the directory. And trying to mv another file from xyz to foo results in a 'foo already exists' error.
So\, the problem is that you use Makefile and makefile ($firstmakefile) and in Makefile.SH\, there is a 'rm -f $firstmakefile' which nukes Makefile.
I got around it by forcing $firstmakefile to be 'makefile_darwin' but then I had to run make depend manually due to the odd name.
After that\, everything built but I got a couple of test errors (the old Berkeley DBM error and test 51 (which indicated that NeXT boxes usually fail this)
Also\, an interesting thing while importing an existing script (from Solaris) is that in Solaris\, I can:
unshift(@INC\, '/some/path')
but OSX won't allow that.
I have to enclose it in a BEGIN block.
