[cleaning up my inbox today and wrapping up some open and OLD threads]

I am not against using any of the Windows Perl distributions.  I just  
have no experience with them. So, if someone could document what needs  
to change, then I can make it happen.  For example, what needs to  
happen for the script to find Perl.exe? Does the user have to edit the  
first line of the file to point to their installation?  Do they need  
to run it as "perl mactime"?

If someone can tell me what I need to do before releasing, what the  
user needs to do when they install it, and if there is anything that  
is unique about running it, then all of this can happen for the next  
release.

thanks,
