There was a comment/request form on the Perl Institute web page. 
When they first set it up I put my toe in the water asking if there could 
be better support for DECnet and SNA within perl or at least a module.  
The last time I looked my request was never publicly posted.

I do think that a MacPerl specific page might be helpful.  
I guess my requests (redundant though they are) would be that MacPerl's 
dependencies on obsolete CW libraries be a thing of the 
past and that as much thread safety as possible be introduced into any 
remaining libs (I think Matthias mentioned GUSI being non-reentrant - but 
I am sure he's already working on that :-).

Thanks.

Does anyone on this list deal with Appleish things like appletalk||kshare on 
non Mac platforms like UNIX?  Do any of you see a role for perl in there, 
perhaps helping with administrative tasks (in other words perl modules for 
Macs that would not run on MacPerl)?
