[MacPerl] MacPerl Question...

["Jon S. Jaques" <jjaques@grovehillsys.com>]

What is the best way to distribute MacPerl across a LAN without installing
MacPerl on each Mac client?

I was just considering whether or not I could just leave a MacPerl
installation on the file server, and simply run it from there. I imagine I
could, at the least, leave a "run-time" version on the file server, and
execute that remotely from each Mac, which would give me the benefit of not
having to worry about out-of-date versions residing on any of the machines,
but I am not sure enough about how MacPerl would handle that.

Matthias mentioned a fix for the Console Buffer, which could be a help for
that, as the output windows take forever to first come up on a long run,
and isn't updated "real-time." Fixed or not, it would probably be more
powerful/complete to use a network installation, tho.

Thanks in advance!
