Correct. Not prepared to do it, might consider it. I won't be prepared to
do it until I have properly considered it. I am willing to consider it,
but not right now, since my brain is otherwise engaged, and (as noted
below) there is not as much reason for it in 5.6.1 as there is in 5.2.0r4.

cpan-mac probably won't exist for MacPerl 5.6.1 and following. All the
modules in cpan-mac are now included in MacPerl 5.6.1a4.

What it does do is make the behavior for Unix perl and MacPerl different,
and I need to give careful thought before doing that. Especially since, as
noted above, it isn't really necessary for most people to do. :-) I will
consider it, most likely, but not now. If you really want it done, please
add it to Feature Requests, and we can revisit the issue at a later date.
I won't even get back to MacPerl development for another few weeks, so
please be patient.
Thanks,
