12 README .macos - Perl under Mac OS (Classic)
13 !!SYNOPSIS
14
15
16 This document briefly describes perl under Mac OS
17 (Classic). If you are running perl under Mac OS
18 X, you don't want to be here (unless you are in the
19 Classic environment under Mac OS
20 X).
21
22
23 When we say ``Mac OS '' below, we mean
24 pre-Mac OS X, which includes Mac OS 7,
25 8, and 9.
26 !!DESCRIPTION
27
28
29 The perl 5.6.1 source itself builds on Mac OS
30 , with some additional pieces. Support for Mac OS
31 is now in the perl core, and !MacPerl will be able to,
32 in the future, keep in closer sync with regular perl
33 releases.
34
35
36 At this time, though, it is very buggy, and is under
37 development. An alpha release is coming very
38 soon.
39
40
41 To build perl for Mac OS (as an MPW
42 tool), you will need the addition of the ``macos''
43 subdirectory, distributed separately. It includes extra
44 source files, config files, and make files. It also includes
45 a lot of extra Mac-specific modules.
46
47
48 To build the !MacPerl application, you will also need
49 the ``macperl'' directory, which includes the source files
50 for creating the application itself.
51
52
53 All of this is also available from the !SourceForge
54 site, via HTTP , FTP , and
55 anonymous CVS .
56
57
58 http://macperl.sourceforge.net/
59 You will also need compilers and libraries, all of them freely available. These are linked to from the !SourceForge site. Go that site for all things having to do with !MacPerl development.
60
61
62 !MacPerl 5.2.0r4 is available on the CPAN and
63 on !SourceForge. It is based on perl
64 5.004.
