Thanks, Rich. I got so busy at the Apple WorldWide Developers Conference, and then behind in my regular work that I just never got around to sending this out.
We wanted to share this information about Perl and the future 10.3 (Panther) release of Mac OS X, so users and developers would not be taken by surprise about the incompatibility issues that they are likely to see. We hope the new features and capabilities of the new Perl will outweigh the temporary difficulties that will occur.
This is great news, Edward, thank you! I just hope that 5.8.1 is finalized and makes it in before 10.3 is finalized. I'd rather see an official stable Perl release than a pre-release included with Panther.
Regards,
David
