I guess my thoughts on this are the same as they are for any other betas -
try the beta on the side, but leave production work for the stable
version.

We are fortunate here in that a very substantial portion of what can be
done with Perl + XML can be done with MacPerl + XML. As a matter of fact,
I'd go so far as to say that what you can't currently do with Perl + XML
is better handled with the more mature Java XML toolset, MacPerl or not.
This would apply in particular to XSLT and SAX.

Just out of interest, and if it's not proprietary, what are you doing with
MacPerl & XML? My ongoing interest with MacPerl & XML (I have other XML
projects, but they are on MkLinux) is mailing list digests - XMLifying
them, indexing them, and developing a search GUI front-end. The effort has
suffered due to the time I spent working on the XS and SWIG tutorials, and
now I'm involved with James Tauber's FOP (PDF formatter for XSL) project,
but I try to get time in on the M.L. thing now and then. I've thought more
than once about using Alan Fry's MPEdit as the text part of the GUI...
