  38 <h1><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></h1>
  39 <p>This document briefly describes perl under Mac OS (Classic).
  40 If you are running perl under Mac OS X, you don't want to be
  41 here (unless you are in the Classic environment under Mac OS X).</p>
  42 <p>When we say ``Mac OS'' below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and <em>not</em>
  43 Mac OS X.</p>

  47 <h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
  48 <p>The latest perl source itself builds on Mac OS, with some additional
  49 pieces. Support for Mac OS is now in the perl core, and MacPerl is kept
  50 in close sync with regular perl releases.</p>
  51 <p>To build perl for Mac OS (as an MPW tool), you will need the addition
  52 of the <em>macos</em> subdirectory, distributed separately.  It includes extra
  53 source files, config files, and make files.  It also includes extra
  54 Mac-specific modules.</p>
  55 <p>To build the MacPerl application, you will also need the <em>macperl</em>
  56 directory, which includes the source files for creating the
  57 application itself.</p>
  58 <p>All of this is available from the development site, via
  59 HTTP (in the MacPerl Installer, which includes all the source
  60 and binaries) and anonymous CVS.</p>
  61 <pre>
  62         <a href="http://dev.macperl.org/">http://dev.macperl.org/</a></pre>
  63 <p>The source is also in the main perl repository in the macperl
  64 branch (the 5.6 source is in the maint-5.6/macperl branch).</p>
  65 <p>You will also need compilers and libraries, all of them freely
  66 available.  These are linked to from the SourceForge site. Go that site
  67 for all things having to do with MacPerl development.</p>
  68 <p>MacPerl 5.6.1 and later are supported on Mac OS 8.1 and later, for 68040
  69 and PowerPC architectures.  The MPW tool may be used on Mac OS 7.5.5
  70 and 68030 computers.</p>
  71 <p>MacPerl 5.2.0r4 is also available, on the CPAN and on SourceForge.  It
  72 is based on perl 5.004, and works with Mac OS 7.5.5 and 68030 computers.</p>
