Tiger,
This is a misinterpretation of the problem. This person is having
difficulties installing PERL modules on Mac OS X - not a whole lot we can
do about that. Do you seriously expect OpenSRS to have EVERY single
platform and work with Perl module coders on each one to make sure that
EVERY single piece works? That would make our releases even slower, and
further between - is this what you want?
As for Mac MSIE customers - we tested every single browser we had at our
disposal (MSIE 3-5.5, Netscape 3-6, Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris) and ONLY
MSIE for the Macintosh had problems. It's clearly the browser that's
misreading something or misinterpreting something - because we just
couldn't get it to work.
When you consider Netscape is by far a more popular browser for the
Macintosh (according to industry studies), and the Macintosh has a small
user base (comparitively speaking), we decided instead of working with
Microsoft to get a smallish piece of code working, that we have to let
that go by the wayside.
