As of December 1, the MacPerl master ftp server is on <ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch//software/platform/macos/perl/> In understand that the new ftp server, as opposed to the old switch server, does not introduce artificial quotas for certain classes of users, so you might want to visit it some time. BTW, the Swiss CPAN mirror has also moved to this machine. Matthias PS: A number of people recently have sent their answers to the questions in the list welcome message to the list itself. In general, I'd prefer if they were sent to me personally (but don't lose too much sleep bout it). ----- Matthias Neeracher <neeri@iis.ee.ethz.ch> http://www.iis.ee.ethz.ch/~neeri "Faced with the choice between changing one's own mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.
