Hi Doug, Any update on this? Your son should be 9 by now, so maybe you can enlist him to wrap up PerlObjCBridge and release it to CPAN. :) Well, kidding aside, is Foundation.pm and the necessary plumbing still approved for open-sourcing by Apple? It would be good if we could build Perl 5.10.1 with it without having to wait for OS X 10.7 to be released... Cheers, -Jan
