Subject: Re: drb -- distrib'd ruby and marshalling, question about methods

Thanks for the info... I had gotten the notion that somebody had
seconded my motion to allow packages and methods to be distributed
right from live memory.

This is my ThinMan model, which is based on CPAN with the other added
feature that there is only one application -- the Perl VM.  The VM
recongizes the object that you are accessing w/ your browser and
brings in the proper packages and methods.

They way I dreamed it, it is infact text based, with the majority of
the code being machine code, encased in the methods as binary code is
in a tar file.

To this end, perl would have to become GPL to use the gnu/tar code...

And hell will freeze long before that happens !!!

Thanks again, John
