[MacPerl Announcement] MacPerl 5.1.1 released

[Matthias Ulrich Neeracher <neeri@iis.ee.ethz.ch>]

MacPerl 5.1.1 is now available from

ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/software/platform/macos/perl/
ftp://err.ethz.ch/pub/neeri/MacPerl/

Source code and big application & tool to follow in a few days.

This is probably the last version of MacPerl based on perl5.002. I hope to be
able to release a 5.004 based version as soon as 5.004 is out.

Beyond that, I currently have no plans. Too much depends on Apple's yet to be
announced OS strategy. If that strategy conforms essentially to the rumors
circulating at the moment, I can probably take MacPerl to a quiet spot in my
backyard and shoot it.

The person in [] is usually the key person to have convinced me to fix a
