It’s been almost 20 years but IIRC you are quite right. The OS X beta had the dev tools more “above the fold” than OS X currently does, again, if I’m remembering correctly. I do remember how goddamn painful getting modperl installed was. 80% my systardiness and 20% dearth of documentation on a bleeding edge OS.

Also, thanks for the Config reminder. Just yesterday I wrote a test that should have used it but I went all qx{} on it like a dummy. :P
