Hi,

I changed the default version of perl on my Snow Leopard to be 5.14.1, using perlbrew. Now, when I build MacVim, make dies at:
/usr/local/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1/bin/perl -e 'unless ( $] >= 5.005 ) { for (qw(na defgv errgv)) { print "#define PL_$_ $_\n" }}' > auto/if_perl.c
/usr/local/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1/bin/perl /usr/local/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1/lib/5.14.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp -prototypes -typemap \
            /usr/local/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1/lib/5.14.1/ExtUtils/typemap if_perl.xs >> auto/if_perl.c
Undefined subroutine &ExtUtils::ParseXS::errors called at /usr/local/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1/lib/5.14.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp line 41.

However, I found that if I call site_lib version of xsubpp, everything is ok. site_lib version is at:
/usr/local/perlbrew/perls/perl-5.14.1/lib/site_perl/5.14.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp

This patch solves my problem, and also reverts to using PERLLIB if PERLSITELIB/ExtUtils/xsubpp doesn't exist. If you find any value in it, let me know.

Cheers,
Nikola

So, if I build against the default Perl version this patch has no
effect?  If it doesn't have any negative side effects for people
without a custom Perl, then I don't mind merging it.

Yes, if you build it against the default version of the patch, MacVim should work as it worked so far.

Best,
Nikola
