[MacPerl] Q: State of the App (Art ;-) - Compatibility?

[skok@itw.uni-stuttgart.de (Holger Skok)]

Hi,

I've recently begun using MacPERL again on my new machine - PMac 7200.
Since I've been experimenting a bit (Plaintalk, Cyberdog and other
games) I've been getting some crashes. I now would like to make
sure they're NOT related to MacPERL.

Does MacPERL 4 - latest version - get along fine with the modern
memory manager?

Which version of MacPERL 5 should run painlessly on a PCI PMac,
with OpenTransport, Plaintalk, the modern memory manager, Apple
Menu Options, Desktop Printing turned on? I've tried the SendPS-
script with MacPERL 507 (the latest version according to the
info on the mirror sites for MacPERL) and couldn't get it
to print.

Have there been syntax changes in the MacPERL - extensions?
Where do I get docs for them (HTML or pod)?
What was the deal with the ObjectSupportLib again? I dimly
remember from previous emails, that there have been some
problems with PERL installing a different one... but my
old emails are in the trash on my other machine which I
lent to my girlfriend (and it's my fault to throw them there,
by the way).

Oh, and while I'm at it: What about MacPERL and RAMTroubler -
any compatibility problems?

Thanks in advance for any hints,

Ciao,
HSK
