Dunno.  I do know that building for multiple platforms worked with the same 
basic configuration under NeXT (or so I am told).  I don't recall if those 
were fat binaries, but I think they may have been.

The bottom line is I won't worry about Mac-Carbon for, oh, a year or two.  I 
see no reason to rush.  Heck, my stuff is included with Mac OS X in Tiger 
now, so I figure there's a chance they will fix any problems in it.  ;-)

I'll let Apple shake out the bugs and perhaps give me/us some access to a 
machine (I'd think we could probably get at least one machine for Perl 
developers to work with ...).  Maybe Ed can give us some clues, when the 
time is right.  (Maybe if it would make us feel better, we can start working 
now to get a dev box, with permission to have multiple people get access to 
it (me, Dan, Sherm(?), a pumpking or two ... ?)

I don't want to get into a big argument about the decision itself.  Well, 
OK, maybe I do, but I won't do so here.  And I see no reason to think the 
sky is falling.  When Mac OS X first came out, Fred Sanchez gave us patches 
to get perl running.  We figured it all out, in time, and there's plenty of 
time.

That's not to say there aren't a lot of concerns, and Lord knows I have mine 
(the ones Dan raise here, especially).  But I've no reason to think that we 
won't be able to take care of what needs to be taken care of.
