They're supposedly leaving AppleScript (and therefore, AppleEvents), or 
something similar, in Rhapsody.  I'd sure want a Rhapsody-Perl to take 
advantage of this.  Also, just a hunch, but I don't think Apple's going 
to include gcc or the like with Rhapsody - they might, given dual 
hardware support - but if they don't, someone will have to compile it 
"for the rest of us".
