FWIW, ActiveState Perl is also available for Solaris; they also make software available for AIX, HP-UX, etc. I'm not sure if these systems tend to ship with Perl, but I know that Perl often runs on them. In that light, I'm actually a little surprised that they didn't have a version for Mac OS X sooner than this. The timing of the announcement seems curious to me... -- Chris Devers
