The Hub is now available as a binary for x86_64 Linux and OSX, just  
download the relevant zip file from the URL below, unzip and run it.  
There should be no external dependancies, the sticky lump should  
include everything you need. See,

and

This is the first time I've generally distributed Perl code in this  
fashion, so I'd be interested in knowing how people get on with it,  
and how divergent the architectures get before it stops working  
entirely. Theoretically at least, the OSX binary should work under  
Tiger and Leopard.

Cheers,
Al.
