Is there a reason for MacJPerl when MacPerl 5.8.x is released?
I thought none but the second thought; The built-in text editor that many not support multibyte characters. But even that is moot since there are many text editors which can use MacPerl, some of which even free (I use mi when I have to type in Japanese <http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~gf6d-kmym/>, free, perl-savvy, and supports all major Japanese encodings including UTF-8).
I wonder how many of you have ever tried 5.8 features such as Encode and PerlIO in MacPerl (besides "make test", of course). I don't even lauch Classic these days...
