"I tried to run a Perl script on my mac the other day and a perl module wouldn't compile because of some error with PowerPC compiler flags. PowerPC! Clearly Perl on OSX has not been maintained for a while." I suspect this has something to do with dropping support for Power PC in Apple's dev tools.
I do development work in perl in OSX. One of our problems is that Apple does update Perl versions etc.
It's a shot in the dark but I'd suggest editing /System/Library/Perl/5.10/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Config_heavy.pl and removing all instances of '-arch ppc'

Hope this helps
