Thanks for all yoru work on the XML stuff.  It is very important, I think,
to the future of MacPerl and Perl in general.

But now an aside. Is anyone else concerned about memory and Perl?  Memory
footprints are getting larger.  CPAN.pm and its dependencies needs at least
20, 30 preferred, to run well.  Doesn't bother me much because I have 160MB
of RAM.  And even if you are too short on RAM to run CPAN.pm, you can use
the untarzipme and installme droplets, which don't use CPAN.pm.  But still,
memory requirements seem to be getting worse.

I guess my question is this:  who is finding a lack of RAM is a real
hindrance to doing the work they want to do with MacPerl?
