[MacPerl] [RESEND] LWP and URI missing on FAT installation?

[Alex Harper <Alex.Harper@pervasive.com>]

This mail has been resent because it appears Majordomo never reflected it
out to the list.

Sorry if this is RTFM, but I've searched the mailing list archives and misc.
FAQs to no avail...

I'm assisting someone in adapting their perl script to run on a Mac. One
reported issue is that the script does not run on some systems because LWP
and URI are not available. Since these are included in the current "appl"
distribution I had assumed this is user error. However, in toying with the
installer it appears that it does not install these items if the user
deliberately chooses to install a FAT binary. I presume a similar problem
happens if the installer runs on a real 68K machine.

Is this deliberate? Can I tell my guy that LWP isn't supported on 68K? If
so, why isn't installed with the FAT binary (where presumably the PPC could
run it)?

Thanks for any pointers (to right FAQ or otherwise :-),

Alex
