I pulled down the perl 5.8.8 sources and cannot find a reference to
stdbool.h anywhere. What I do find is that "handy.h" defines what
Perl thinks bool is:
#ifndef HAS_BOOL
# if defined(UTS) || defined(VMS)
# define bool int
# else
# define bool char
# endif
# define HAS_BOOL 1
#endif
On OSX 10.4 this file is installed in
/System/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/handy.h
Would you look at what 10.5 has? I suspect that Apple has modified
their version to force bool to be int as of 10.5.
