Switch, whether from Mac OS 9 or Win32, definitely ain't happening here :-(

I just got a Powerbook a week ago, and I'm so disgusted with it that I'm
thinking of switching back. I've been a programmer since 1980, and
have worked in a variety of environments, mostly Unix. I've never had
a more frustrating experience with a new system, except trying to get
Oracle installed on NCR.

I've been using ActivePerl under emacs in Windows for the past
several years. As soon as I get perl underway on OSX, I'll be
moving my perl programs over.

I'm confused - you're disgusted with OS X so you're going to switch all your programs from ActivePerl to OS X?

Anyway, what has been frustrating you about the powerbook? Anything this list can help with or be interested in?

I'm running perl 5.8 on mac 10.2.

That's sometimes a source of frustration (both now and in the future when Apple upgrades), has it given you any specific trouble?

I haven't yet been able to figure out how to get the carbon build of
emacs (a gui emacs) to import the locale so that the perl debugger
will run under emacs.  Any suggestions for the best way to handle
that?

Sorry, I don't know, but I'll be interested to know the answer.

Also, which make do you use to get modules installed from CPAN?

You have multiple 'make' binaries?  How did that happen?
