Details:

Context: Using Homebrew ( http://github.com/ashb/homebrew ), a popular
package manager for OSX that uses the tools OSX already comes with to install
Weechat (unlike Macports that duplicates everything).

Bug: Perl plugin fails to compile.

Cause: OSX System Perl is a fat binary with 32,64 and PPC compiles but our
dependencies don't have that.

Fix:
ashb at #machomebrew found the cause and fixed the problem here via a patch
in the package manager:
http://github.com/ashb/homebrew/commit/1b7f0b5cc0eeb62e7ccc23b22a66954f16d117d1


Possible fix for weechat:

In: src/plugins/scripts/perl/CMakeLists.txt

Add after 'IF(PERL_FOUND)':

STRING(REGEX REPLACE "-arch i386|-arch ppc|-arch x86_64" "" PERL_CFLAGS
"${PERL_CFLAGS"})
STRING(REGEX REPLACE "-arch i386|-arch ppc|-arch x86_64" "" PERL_LFLAGS
"${PERL_LFLAGS"})

This fix should probably be inside a psecific OSX block.

ashb also suggested for weechat dev to:
1) in FindPerl.cmake, and 2) inside an IF(APPLE) block
