me too. i just started playing with camelbones. the 2 little tutorials on 
camelbones web site work. but now what?
we can try and learn cocoa - but it's all in objective-c, so we have to 
learn that too. with no help on how to use any of it from perl. the blunt 
side of the bleeding edge. plus docs say camelbones doesn't do 'views' 
which limits are ability as well. not ready for pryme tyme.
at least we have each other ... and this list
oh -- i would call the qui Aqua with Cocoa API - cocoa has an apple 
mailing list.
