Taking this question very generally, one might ask:

   "What can MacPerl bring to Mac OS X (Server)?"

Given that Matthias expects to make MacPerl run under Carbon, one
part of the question is easy.  MacPerl will run under Carbon (and
Classic, one presumes :-).

The dicier issues have to do with MacPerl's operation under Cocoa
and the BSD command line.  I would _like_ to see versions of Perl
which ran under each.  Ideally, one would be able to use the Cocoa
interface technology fairly smoothly with MacPerl and/or call Mac-
style modules from a BSD version of Perl.

All of this will take time and effort, however, and Matthias is
already giving us a great deal of unpaid development.  I therefore
suggest that folks who want these kinds of things to happen should
get together with each other to discuss ways to implement them.
