|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | This document briefly describes perl under Mac OS (Classic).
|
|---|
| 12 | If you are running perl under Mac OS X, you don't want to be
|
|---|
| 13 | here (unless you are in the Classic environment under Mac OS X).
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | When we say "Mac OS" below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and I<not>
|
|---|
| 16 | Mac OS X.

| 19 | =head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | The latest perl source itself builds on Mac OS, with some additional
|
|---|
| 22 | pieces. Support for Mac OS is now in the perl core, and MacPerl is kept
|
|---|
| 23 | in close sync with regular perl releases.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | To build perl for Mac OS (as an MPW tool), you will need the addition
|
|---|
| 26 | of the F<macos> subdirectory, distributed separately. It includes extra
|
|---|
| 27 | source files, config files, and make files. It also includes extra
|
|---|
| 28 | Mac-specific modules.
