What was said was that there might be two pieces for the source: the perl
source, and the MacPerl source.  The MacPerl source would no longer contain
the perl core stuff, and would contain toolbox, GUSI, IDE, bsd-db, etc.

I am assuming you mean "build out of the box with the extra pieces you have
to download", because I can see no other feasible way.

I do agree.  Send e-mail to Sarathy about it for the next announcement.  I
think it should be included, not because perl5.004_75 can run on the Mac
right now, but because perl under Mac OS is actively supported.
