rlm_perl build on mac osx

Hi,

several folk run FreeRADIUS on MacOSX already - and Apple even
have added code themselves - I believe FR is the fundamental
EAP system in eg latest airport/timecapsule product (though
I may be wrong on that aspect of usage! ;-) )

correct. its only for rlm_perl

or likely its a PATH problem and you have to tell it where your 5.10.0
is living.
