Error message suggests that "bool" is not defined.  And looking 
though [1] I don't see bool defined via libkern/OSAtomic.h.  
OSTypes.h defines "Boolean", but not "bool".

While I feel perl's handy.h is utterly wrong in it's aproach to 
"bool" (it's 2011 now, more than 10 years since C99 defined 
stdbool.h!), I still doesn't see what happens here.  Additionally, 
I see Apple hacks handy.h on it's system perl to include 
stdbool.h[2], and this makes me wonder even more.

Could you please confirm that perlembed sample does actually 
compiles fine with Mac OS X system perl without extra includes 
used?
