Well, the MacPerl porting to 5.005 is being worked on, albeit slowly.  I
personally wouldn't advance further without word from Matthias, as I
wouldn't want to see wasted effort.  He is working on GUSI II (the
foundation for the sockets in MacPerl) these days, from what I can tell.

Note that awhile ago he asked if there was any rush for 5.005, or if we
should just wait and do it slowly and get threading working, rather than do
a 5.005 without threading.  The consensus seemed to be the slower approach.
Heck, I still use 5.004_04 on all my machines at work, so I didn't see need
for a rush.

It would, of course, be useful for Matthias to give us a real update, if he
finds the time, and he if he is actually on the list.  :)
