Worksforme ... which Postgres version are you using exactly?

Actually, I'm wondering about the references to /opt/local/lib/perl5/
there; I don't see those in my build --- here's my command for linking
plperl:

gcc -no-cpp-precomp -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing -g -bundle -multiply_defined suppress plperl.o spi_internal.o SPI.o -L/usr/local/lib -L/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE -L../../../src/port /System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a -lperl -ldl -lm -lc -bundle_loader ../../../src/backend/postgres -o libplperl.0.0.so

I'm a bit suspicious that you have a non-shared-library build of Perl
under /opt, and you've done something that makes Postgres find that
instead of the Apple-supplied version.
