Couldn't find info on what it is. I suppose I'll have to install it to see.

On Mac, just testing that my modules work as expected. I intend to write
some specific modules for people in the Film and Video industry, where many
people use Macs, so they should work on Mac. I would also like to check
that my Mail::Sendmail module works on the Mac.

If I succeed installing it... :-)

I installed the bigappl distribution, but that doesn't seem to be enough. I
can't find the /lib directories anywhere on the disk. A sample script I
copied over doesn't run, in Simple Text it displays boxes for line endings,
there's no command-line, ... yet another OS to learn using... Weren't Macs
supposed to be easy? :-) ...

Off to FAQ's and web pages on MacPerl. This mail was actually just to
answer Matthias' "survey" questions.
