Hi Doug,

Any update on this? Your son should be 9 by now, so maybe you can
enlist him to wrap up PerlObjCBridge and release it to CPAN. :)

Well, kidding aside, is Foundation.pm and the necessary plumbing
still approved for open-sourcing by Apple?  It would be good if
we could build Perl 5.10.1 with it without having to wait for
OS X 10.7 to be released...

Cheers,
