I'm working on a project for my client, and I spent the better part of two days trying to get my laptop running OSX to have the right combination of BerkeleyDB and Perl modules to build what I wanted. Turns out my Perl 5.10.1 install was incompatible with BerkeleyDB on OSX, but the macports version 5.8.9 was also in the wrong path, ugh.
Finally, I said "hey, freebsd would do better here". Within a half day, I had a freebsd VMWare image up and running, executing precisely the code I wanted, and I was able to take my development to the next round. FreeBSD. The Ports Just Work.
