Every outstanding show-stopping bug and task for a MacPerl 5.6.1 release is CLOSED. ALL OF THEM. I still have some cleanup things to take care of, and hopefully b4, a release candidate, will be out tomorrow evening. Then we'll wait a few weeks, and release 5.6.1r1, and I will have achieved my goal of releasing MacPerl 5.6.1 before my daughter is born!
