> http://sf.net/projects/macperl/ Well, congratulations. One would have thought it would never get finished. Three cheers for a job well done. Just two remarks: - The above URL at Sourceforge says that you need at least OS 9. Well, I don't *have* OS 9, mine is OS 8.6, and I don't plan on upgrading. Ever. But I took the chance, it seems to be working well anyway. The README says you need at least OS 8.1. So, shouldn't this remark at Sourceforge's site be changed? Won't you scare away people, like me, who don't have OS 9, and who don't risk a slow download of over 19MB? - The old style module StandardFile.pl doesn't appear to be working. The newer Mac::StandardFile is a terribly obscure "replacement". That doesn't seem to be too backward-compatibility friendly. Should I file a proper bug report, or is this a "feature request"? # choose not implemented at the moment. File '...:StandardFile.pl' line 48 -- Bart.
