Since there hasn't been any further discussion for a day or so, I have published Mac-Pasteboard-0.000_01 to CPAN. I suspect you'll need to download by package name (WYANT/Mac-Pasteboard-0.000_01.tar.gz I think; at least, WYANT is the right CPAN username) if you're using the 'cpan' script. I think it's too early to make an announcement; maybe at the 0.001 version. And use.perl.org seems like pretty fast company for something as piddling as a single-OS interface module. I typically haven't done announcements even to comp.lang.perl.modules, and in this case I should think announcement to perl.macosx would be sufficient, even if it weren't redundant. Tom Wyant
