other than those few bugs I've reported I'm quite thoroughly happy with
it.. FTP transfers are fast and smooth, all the code I've been working
on for NaliCity has improved greatly now that I can test and take
advantage of the newer Perl constructs that didn't exist in 5.004,
CPAN.pm is working like a scalded dog, heck evne some of the simple
SOAP::Lite stuff works (although I haven't delved deeply into this,
having little time free):
#!perl -w
use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;
my $quote = SOAP::Lite->new(
proxy => 'http://services.xmethods.net:80/soap',
uri => 'urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes'
);
print "AAPL: ", $quote->getQuote('AAPL')->result(), "\n";
print "MSFT: ", $quote->getQuote('MSFT')->result(), "\n";
print "SUNW: ", $quote->getQuote('SUNW')->result(), "\n";
All in all one of the sweetest and smoothest upgrades to MacPerl I've
had yet, and while there's still a few bumps here and there, 98% of what
I've been using Perl for runs great!
All I need is .cgi support so that I can test scripts under OS 8.6's
built-in web-sharing and I'm good to go.
bravo!
