Just to follow up on my own message: As the referenced document (made publically available, with permission of the company, by an Apple employee) indicates, Apple will be shipping a slightly non-standard version of Perl 5.8.1, with two-level namespace enabled and thread support turned on. For this reason, rather than just storing things in /whatever/perl5/5.8.1/darwin, they will be storing them in /whatever/perl5/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level.
Unfortunately, I didn't manage to guess this part in advance! So we'll need to revise fink's -pm581 package specification to deal with this. The question is: should we plan on also providing a stock Perl 5.8.1 (once it is released), for use by packages that can't deal with the two-level or threaded support? If so, we'll need two different kinds of pm's for Perl 5.8.1. Or should we just stick with Apple's, for all pm581 modules? -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
