Matthias, many many thanks for what you've done, first in bringing 
Perl to the Mac, and second in fostering the community that 
circulates ideas, advice, and support through the MacPerl lists.

For me -- and many others, no doubt -- your contribution opened the 
Mac as a technical computing environment. With the power of Perl 
always available, no longer am I hindered by the limitations, 
slowness, obtuseness, and downright paternalism of off-the-shelf 
software.

Not only that, but having MacPerl has meant that I can develop on my 
favorite OS, and with complete confidence deploy my code on every 
other platform I've encountered professionally. As I've said before 
on this list, every working day I am grateful for this blessing.

Who could be better? Thanks to both of you for working this out!

Looking forward with awe and admiration to whatever you produce!

Thanks again.

Best,
