well said! 
perhaps a 5) mac-perl-cgi that deals with all web stuff ?

My point of view (one from just a network and system eng) is that
macperl is a great thing, the new win32 port is a great thing too, and
on unix it is "absolutely fabulous" -:)
Some remarks:

-about the GUI; we need an interface that should be the same on
mac/pc/u..x (like tcl/tk, i don t know if it is perl-tk or
perl-GUI-native-OS who will win...) In order to build a RAD like Spectcl
and then building app.

-about the native-os-lib, it would be fantastic to have (like in win32)
the ability to call system-libs (calling a dll under win32, i don t know
if it is possible to do that under mac)

-please a native network module without OSAX because the problem with
applescript extension is that they should be in "scripting addition
folder" wich has not the same place under OS7.5.X and OS8

long live to macperl
