I'm trying to get up and running SDL::Perl on my iBook/MacOSX 10.4, but when I try to install the libsdl-framework via Darwinports I got the following error:

Do you have any idea on how to resolve this problem?

The libsdl-framework port uses an internal MacPorts mechanism (the "command" mechanism) which has changed in recent versions of MacPorts, so this port broke. There is a new version of the port in our issue tracker which no longer uses this mechanism, which I am currently evaluating and will then commit. Thank you for your patience. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11858 I'm also evaluating an update to the libsdl port. http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/11857

Thank you very much. When do you think the port will be available?

The new version of libsdl-framework has been committed to the repository and should be available via rsync within 12 hours. At that time, do "sudo port sync" and try installing the port again.
