> MacPerl 5.6.1 is now in beta. And there is much rejoicing. Indeed there is. What with the DBI bundled recently ported, and CPAN working, I've been a thoroughly happy camper lately. I'm in the middle of huge database cleanup prior to a site makeover, and I cannot tell you how smooth the transition to 5.6.1b1 was. I installed elsewhere (via the full installer) as I noted that it was going to write to MacPerl ?, and I wanted to keep the original -- perhaps the beta's should be named MacPerl 5.6.1b* ? (and even the final ver named with 5.6.1 in the folder name). I re-created a CPAN-shell droplet, as I could see the need for one in my instance. On-the-fly configuration of the CPAN-shell went without a hitch -- congratulations! Using CPAN to download modules (CGI update, Quantum::Superpositions, DBD::AnyData, etc.) to site_perl also worked terrifically, although I had to redirect to the right site_perl folder during config (it wanted to use the one from 5.6.1a4) I'll let you know if I come across anything strange, but so far, it's been bliss. :-) -- Scott R.
