Neither do I.

Rhapsody will be shipped with BSD 4.4, which will either include Perl or
run it natively, as it does now.  The Yellow Box (OpenStep) has always run
Perl, and will continue to do so.  What might "need" to be ported are
Matthias' special MacOS extensions (i.e., Component Manager, Speech, and,
esp., AppleEvents, which will allow Yellow Box<->Blue Box communication).
