Just a couple of reality notes: It's not clear how much of a Unix "personality" MacOS X will have right out of the box. Although the kernel will be Mach it isn't a sure bet of how much Unix-like functionality will be there. What I've been hearing is an optional BSD/Posix layer (not a certified Posix layer since Apple says they don't want to go through the expensive testing for certification). Mac OS X Server, on the other hand, will be a full environment. ab ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
