[MacPerl] loving/hating MacPerl

[Michael T Hammond <hammond@u.Arizona.EDU>]

1. I had such trouble with the latest version of Perl5 that i finally
deleted it off my harddrive and went way back and reinstalled 418. I kept
getting system crashes, I was repeatedly rebuilding my desktop and doing
disk repairs with Norton.

2. That being said, I love MacPerl and it has become essential for my
academic research. I discovered again yesterday why it's so useful to me
when I was trying out a 'grep' program in Applescript. (Ugh!)

3. suggestions for the next version of MacPerl (some of which I gather
Matthias has already taken care of):

a. get the interrupt key back

b. add a file letting us know which files in the distribution are not
essential and can be deleted. (I suppose I'm revealing too much naivete
here, but I have yet to figure out what all the "t" directories are for.)

c. I have this sneaking suspicion that some of the problems I was
experiencing were due to 'internet config' and 'shuck'. Can those be
ditched?

d. I'm gathering there is some sort of size limit on the 'MacPerl' window. 
Is that necessary?
