Although MacPerl is a nifty way to experiment with the Toolbox and such,
it still takes a bit of preparation.  MPPE is the best starting point,
IMNSHO, but it isn't really enough.  It's about time someone did an intro
page on the MacPerl Pages to acquaint folks with all of the nifty things
Chris and others have created.  (Send notes to mp-book@ptf.com; we'll
hack something together.)

One of the really refreshing things about this list, by and large, is the
absence of flames, particularly those directed at newbies.  Also, we have
spent a bit of effort making the MacPerl Pages (and online book) into a
useful set of resources for MacPerl users.

In short, I would like to see you directing folks TO the list and the
MacPerl Pages as part of your service.  In return, we'll put in a link
to your MacPerl Discussion Board area as soon as you give the word!
