.IX Title "PERLMACOS 1"
.TH PERLMACOS 1 "2002-11-24" "perl v5.8.0" "Perl Programmers Reference Guide"
.SH "NAME"
README.macos \- Perl under Mac OS (Classic)
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
This document briefly describes perl under Mac \s-1OS\s0 (Classic).
If you are running perl under Mac \s-1OS\s0 X, you don't want to be
here (unless you are in the Classic environment under Mac \s-1OS\s0 X).
.PP
When we say \*(L"Mac \s-1OS\s0\*(R" below, we mean Mac \s-1OS\s0 7, 8, and 9, and \fInot\fR
Mac \s-1OS\s0 X.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The latest perl source itself builds on Mac \s-1OS\s0, with some additional
pieces. Support for Mac \s-1OS\s0 is now in the perl core, and MacPerl is kept
in close sync with regular perl releases.
.PP
To build perl for Mac \s-1OS\s0 (as an \s-1MPW\s0 tool), you will need the addition
of the \fImacos\fR subdirectory, distributed separately. It includes extra
source files, config files, and make files. It also includes extra
Mac-specific modules.
.PP
To build the MacPerl application, you will also need the \fImacperl\fR
directory, which includes the source files for creating the
application itself.
.PP
All of this is available from the development site, via
\&\s-1HTTP\s0 (in the MacPerl Installer, which includes all the source
and binaries) and anonymous \s-1CVS\s0.
.PP
.Vb 1
\& http://dev.macperl.org/
.Ve
.PP
The source is also in the main perl repository in the macperl
branch (the 5.6 source is in the maint\-5.6/macperl branch).
.PP
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.
.PP
MacPerl 5.6.1 and later are supported on Mac \s-1OS\s0 8.1 and later, for 68040
and PowerPC architectures. The \s-1MPW\s0 tool may be used on Mac \s-1OS\s0 7.5.5
and 68030 computers.
.PP
MacPerl 5.2.0r4 is also available, on the \s-1CPAN\s0 and on SourceForge. It
is based on perl 5.004, and works with Mac \s-1OS\s0 7.5.5 and 68030 computers.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.IX Header "AUTHOR"
perl was ported to Mac \s-1OS\s0 by Matthias Neeracher
<neeracher@mac.com>. It is currently maintained by Chris
Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>.
