I think that is one area that should be emphasized. That macs really do fit
into the mainstream.

The dc perl mongers have ben asked by the local mac user group for an
article about MacPerl, in exchange for some free advertising space. I've
volunteered to do it (as soon as I get a few free minutes) and I am
planning on emphasizing the 'cross-platform-eze' of using macperl. So much
web content is devloped on Macs, I think people would be pleased to know
that they can get a good handle on scripting as well, both for file
maintenance, and yes, cgi (sorry Chris :-) I'll also be borrowing some
Mac-specific code from this list, with permission, to demonstrate the mac
toolbox stuff.

This might be a way for others who happen to have perl monger groups and
mac user groups in the same town to do  publicizing about mac operl.

cheers,

david
