ActivePerl is almost everywhere now

The Gecko isn't just for Windows anymore.

I must have missed the news from ActiveState that ActivePerl now runs on Mac OS X. Actually, it's now on Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, and AIX too. I guess I should have figured ActivePerl had made it to the Mac when Komodo did, but I never thought to actually use it. Maybe I know about it when it happened, then just forgot.

I've now installed it, and I see that it comes with the Mac::Carbon and Mac::Glue module, along with a lot of other Mac::* stuff. Very cool.

I'll have to wait to play with it. I was just checking some facts for a Komodo article in the next issue of The Perl Review, so I can't get too distracted right now.

And hey, AIX but no FreeBSD? :)
