This is mostly an update to make it easier for us at ActiveState to
provide binary distributions of pyperl.  This means that pyperl can
now be installed without compilation on Linux, Solaris and Windows.
All you have to do is to install ActivePerl and ActivePython and then
invoke Python's PPM as:

   pyppm install pyperl

and everything should be up running.  The 'pyppm' facility was
introduced in ActivePython 2.0 (build 203) released earlier this week.
Zope 2.3.x still seems to want Python-1.5.2 so this shortcut might not
be for everybody yet.

Anyway, the pyperl source can as usual be obtained from:

   ftp://ftp.activestate.com/Zope-Perl/pyperl-1.0.1.tar.gz

Other bug fixes that got applied in this release are:

   - Perl interpreter now destructed when a thread terminates
     even on Windows.

   - Make perlmod.py module thread aware and its PerlModule class
     now provide an wantarray attribute.
