Yeah, /opt/local is the correct path for non-native stuff on Mac OS X

Thanks for posting the solution and following up. I would like to add
that I believe it's a good idea that you use the Perl from MacPorts
now and leave the system Perl alone. This way you can upgrade Perl,
install/modify stuff like mod_perl, use threads or whatever you want
to without affecting MacOS X Perl.
