I've been looking at http://www.apple.com/macosx/developertools/ and unfortunately it doesn't say which Perl version. Surely this tidbit is buried elsewhere on the site? They often release their copies of open source stuff before the final release, which would be found here: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/index.html The 10.4 stuff isn't up yet, but the WWDC 2004 Developer Preview had 5.8.4 according to that page.

It would be nice if that page had version numbers for some of the main Unix software they're going to be distributing: Perl, Python, Ruby, GCC, etc. Now that a release date is imminent, maybe they can update the page to have this information. Didn't the promo pages for 10.3 have all of this kind of thing? -- Chris Devers
Re: Tiger version - Please stop
On 2005-04-11 various people addressed the question: Does anyone know when Tiger itself will be shipping? Will those suffering from can't-wait-for-the-next thing please not infect this list? Thanks, - Bruce __bruce__van_allen__santa_cruz__ca__
Re: Tiger version
As far as perl goes, I always install a parallel perl for my dev stuff, so I don't have to mess with the system install. If you are anxious for Tiger, you can pay USD 500 for the privilege of testing pre-release versions. If you do lot of development for the Mac, it's worth the price. I've done it once, just haven't been able to get involved enough in Mac development to pay for the next one. Found myself wondering what to do with all the CDs, also found myself wishing I could afford more hardware for running the pre-release software on.

Does anyone know what version of Perl is shipping with the Tiger release? I tried finding something on the Apple site but could not. Robert

Robert Nobody knows, except for those who are under NDA. So we likely won't know until it's been released. I going to venture a guess, though, that it will hopefully be version 5.8.6. -- Lola - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lolajl.net | Blog at http://www.lolajl.net/blog/ Terrorismus delendus est!
