  Scarily enough perl in Snow Leopard is compiled as both 32 and 64 bit, and when you build extensions it builds them as both too (and ppc too).
  
  This can be confusing when you have 32-bit libraries installed.

    Tony, would you mind trying these files out? Drop them in the root Mac-Carbon-0.80 dir, then run `perl Makefile.PL` and `make` and `make test`. They try to remove the -arch x86_64 flags, and give a warning to any user trying to compile with a 64-bit perl.

      Both URLs return a 403 error.

        Ugh. OK, I had to rename them, or reconfigure the server, or put them in an archive. So rename them I did!

        Thanks.

            Awesome, thanks. That dumb creator/type test is failing, I'll look at that again. But other than that, it seems to work for 32-bit.

            Could you try one more thing? Do the first part again, running as 64-bit. But before you run make test, export VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes, so you will have built it using the 64-bit perl, but are running the tests as 32-bit perl.

            Thanks again.
