Hi Bruce, OK, I tracked this down to a problem I was having with CPAN versus the system perl installation (on linux anyway). Somehow, doing
perl -MCPAN 'install Bundle::XasPerlBundle'
was not completing correctly. For one thing, this takes an insanely long time as it builds and tests, and "cleverly" rebuilds the CPAN code and about 400 modules, all going into a system folder: yikes. But I don't think that was the problem. I believe it was more likely related to piles of messages about YAML, but I can't reproduce the problem easily. That's because, a second
perl -MCPAN 'install Bundle::XasPerlBundle'
did build and install several more components, including rebuilding
and retesting Tk. Sheesh.
Then horae-070 did build from the top-level directory. It appears to
be working.
But that's not going to stop me complaining about perl.
OK, that was a half a day.... Now back to OS X and trying to build
perl and horae there...

I could also not get horae-070 to build cleanly from source, but I now believe that to not be a Mac-specific problem, but that horae-070.tar.gz is simply broken for building on clean machines.
Matt,
Could I have a bit more information on what the problem is?
