Has anyone tried the Perl OSA component with Frontier (on the Mac)?This is from the read me: May 28, 1995
WELCOME TO THE PERL 5 OSA PRERELEASE
This is a practically untested "proof of concept"-only release of the Perl OSA Component.
Maybe there is something more recent (I recall a Perl 4 one that was solid...)?.... (followup) umm, well I just searched through the mac-perl archives and came across these quotes concerning the above mentioned OSA compontent:
The limitations of the MacOS version of the OSA Perl plugin have little to do with lack of support from Apple (except that I ran into some obscure corners of the code fragment manager which seemed to be undocumented). I just lost interest in the current OSA component when it became evident what sort of memory consumption and startup time it had.
and this snipit:

Would it make since to use Frontier's approach in making a MacPerl OSA component? You would have the component available whenever MacPerl was running and you could get it out of the way when it wasn't needed.
response:
Problem is that MacPerl is not suitable to run multiple interpreters.
