[MacPerl] [MacPerl->UNIX] Multiple destinations for Vicki's bus? :-)

[Edouard Lagache <elagache@weber.ucsd.edu>]

Hello Vicki and fellow MacPerlophiles,

Golly, a discussion about community - how fun! :-)  Two cents: Avoid a 
new listserv, but try to be tolerant of other platforms.  Two reasons:

-    MacPerl is a variant of a language whose standard lives on UNIX.  
     MacPerl needs the publicity of UNIX Perl and ironically 
     keeping the link open may encourage developers to try Macs.

-    Some of us live on multiple platforms.  MacPerl is so wonderful that 
     it may be the best Perl development environment - period.  Part of 
the
     business of encouraging the use of MacPerl is helping people reach 
their
     final destination.  As least, we need to be open to issues related 
to the
     MacPerl side of the port.

How to do this?  A new convention for subject headers?  All porting 
questions start with: 
[MacPerl->LINUX] or whatever?  The people who aren't interested in 
porting issues can set their mailers to kill all messages with 
"MacPerl->".  Of course nothing is ever perfect, but this would seem to 
be a minimalist scheme that addresses everyone's concerns  . .  sort of, 
kinda, maybe, . . . ??? :-)

Perls of wisdom be with you!! :-)

Edouard :-)
