I think at least the above potential READMEs have been suggested. No, I'm not going to write either one: I was kind of hoping someone else would, that's why this reminder... :-) Suggested topics: OS X ---- - dyld warnings (aka how to install Perl 5.8.0 without stomping over Apple's 5.6.1, and how to live with fink's...) - Berkeley DB: ... - mentioning CamelBones et al - mentioning BBEdit et al? Linux ----- - beware of glibc x.x.x since its malloc is dog slow - "built-in" or whatever that was with some gcc and Perl 5.8.0 - other known problems in some Linux distributions...? - ... ... and more can be found from perl58delta (the perldelta of 5.8.0). For the OS X installation sagas, visit the macosx@perl.org archives. Do note that whatever you write shouldn't be bound to one Perl, OS, compiler, or libraries release: think both backward and forward in time. (E.g. "optimization known to broken with gcc a.b.c, but expected to be fixed in gcc a.b.d".) -- Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi> http://www.iki.fi/jhi/ "There is this special biologist word we use for 'stable'.
