Perl5.12 not installing via Macports

When trying to install Imagemagick via Macports, I keep getting an error when it goes to build the perl5.12 dependancy. It says: Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I’ve tried updating Macports, installing/building perl5.12 independently, uninstalling and reinstalling perl5.12 to no avail. Here’s what error part of the log says:

Here’s the whole log.

Does anybody know what’s going on or what I’m doing wrong?

Turns out that latest macPorts update fixed my issue, just had to run selfupdate.

What version of Mac OS X do you have? I have Lion, and it comes with Perl 5.12.3. You may need to install the developer tools.

You can always try ActivePerl which is version 5.12.4. I haven't tried ActivePerl on the Mac, but if you have the developer tools installed, you'll have the required gcc compiler and make installed, so you can install the XS CPAN packages.

On the PC, you have to install CPAN from the Perl Package Manager and not all CPAN modules will install, but I don't know if you have the same issues with ActivePerl on the Mac since the Mac is a Unix operating system.
