[MacPerl] MacPerl OSA component (??)

[Bill Hoffman <bhoff@slip.net>]

I'm somewhat confused by references to "OSA-compliance" in the 510a3 
alpha and expected 5.1 release of MacPerl that I've seen here and 
elsewhere. 

Like many, I imagine, I'm hoping to see a Perl OSA scripting component. 
Is this something I should be hoping for, or have I misunderstood. I've 
sifted through all the stuff in the 510a3 release and see lots of lib 
stuff in there labelled "OSA" and "Apple Events" but of course I don't 
understand what it is. Am I wrong to think that there might be/will be a 
release of a real Perl OSA scripting component as well? 

Sorry if this has been asked and answered a million times already. Can 
someone set me straight?

Thanks,

Bill
