No, we aren't doing 64-bit in the fat binaries yet, just ppc+x86. We do plan to add that in the future, possibly later this year. > I wanted to report that installing Tcl-0.98 from CPAN fails on Mac OS X 10.6, > because Tcl-0.98/tcl-core/darwin-universal/libtclstub8.4.a doesn't contain > code for all required architectures. > Apple ships Snow Leopard with Perl 5.10.0, built as universal binary for > x86_64, i386 and ppc.

Correct, using the system one should work fine. Note that the system one in Snow Leopard is a Cocoa-based Tk (as opposed to the Carbon one in Leopard and what is currently in ActiveTcl 8.5). ActiveTcl will ship the Cocoa-based one when we move to 8.6. Don't mix Snow Leopard and AT 8.5 Tk extensions - it may lead to bad results. Jeff
