The first non-beta release of the MacPerl OSA component is now available in ftp://ftp.switch.ch/software/mac/perl/ ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerl/ and will soon propagate to CPAN. You will need to download the files Mac_Perl_510r2_appl.bin Mac_Perl_510r2_osa.bin from the above directories and run them in that order. The component is PowerPC only. On this occasion, I would like to thank Mark Alldritt, Doug Baron, Jon Pugh, and Dave Winer, who provided valuable advice about the uncharted areas of OSA component writing.
