Well, then have no fear: if you still want it, MacPerl 5.6.1 is approaching release status. The next beta -- probably this week -- will have all known major bugs fixed. Although, perl on Mac OS X will someday (hopefully sooner rather than later) have access to the Mac:: modules (if in a different form), which will, hopefully, make MacPerl on Mac OS X obsolete. -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/
