I'm still around - though I made the switch to Mac OS X as soon as I 
could so there won't be any updated documentation from me. I would 
imagine a few of the issues caused by  macperl 5.004 have gone away, but 
I'm sure the ever advancing nature of bioperl (and its dependencies) has 
introduced some new ones. If at all possible, I'd suggest using OS X - 
the ability to type "perl Makefile.pl, make, make test, make install" 
and have it all just work is worth it.
