I have a freebsd 7.2 install available and was able to reproduce. The problem
seems to be that the include path generated for compiling the _charm_try.c file
is a single '( ' and so bash croaks when trying to execute the cc command. If
you try and compile with just a simple:

 cc _charm_try.c

it works with no problem.

I threw some fprintf to stderr in the (generated?)

charmonizer/gen/Charmonizer/Core/Compiler.c

file around lines 110-122 and got this output:

Creating os object...
Trying to find a bit-bucket a la /dev/null...
Trying to find a supported compiler...
Creating compiler object...
Trying to compile a small test file...
inc_dir:  (
exe: cc _charm_try.c -o _charm_try -I  (
-DAPPLLIB_EXP="/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/BSDPAN" -DHAS_FPSETMASK
-DHAS_FLOATINGPOINT_H -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include
Syntax error: "(" unexpected

I assume the inc_dir values come from Perl Config, but I gave up trying to dig
backwards from here.

Hope that helps you some Marvin.
