Perl Dev Kit 7.0 for Mac

ActiveState has released Perl Dev Kit 7.0, a Perl application deployment suite that adds optimization tools and extends platform support to Mac OS X. The kit is designed to make it simple for programmers to build and deploy applications, filtering text interactively with on-the-fly results and improving code performance via coverage experiments as well as hotspot analysis and data set comparisons. Features include PerlApp -- a tool to create and deploy self-contained Perl applications to all major platforms -- as well as PerlNET, which allows .NET Framework code to access Perl code running outside the .NET Framework. PerlSvc converts Perl programs to native Windows services, PerlTray changes Perl programs to Windows system tray applications, and PerlMSI creates MSI files using Perl code. Perl Dev Kit 7.0 Pro Pack is priced at $200 or $50 for a student license.
