<br><br>Just as a follow-up to my post a few weeks ago: Felix<br>Schwartz forwarded me his patched distro which he had gotten<br>to compile with recent versions of Perl and Python. I was<br>able to get this compiled with no problem and currently our
<br>testers are putting it through its paces to see if it is<br>production-worthy. It is actually looking pretty good so<br>far. As I mentioned before, my group has been re-organized<br>and integrated with a Perl-centric group with a large body
<br>of Perl code. Making a case for Python means being able to<br>use that Perl code, and it looks like this could actually<br>happen.<br><br>While I don't have the bandwidth to actively maintain this<br>code, I would be willing to try my hand at precompiling some
<br>binaries for major versions of Perl and Python. As I<br>understand it, the compilation problems were the major<br>hurdle to this code becoming more widely-used. Would there<br>be interest in this? Maybe maintaining an up-to-date
<br>Solaris/Linux/Windows binary for the latest ActiveState<br>releases or something like that?<br><br></blockquote><br>
