Currently, MacPerl stands at version 4.1.8 for Perl 4
and 5.0.7r1m for Perl 5. Both versions run best on a
Mac with at least 8M of RAM, System 7 or later, and
at least an 68020 processor, although MacPerl 4.1.8
can be made to run on an 68000 with 2M of RAM.
The easiest way to get
MacPerl is from a CPAN site in the ports/mac
subdirectory. For every version of MacPerl, there are
three archives: Mac_Perl_XXX_appl.sit.bin contains
the standalone application (which is probably what
you want); Mac_Perl_XXX_tool.sit.bin contains the MPW
Tool; and Mac_Perl_XXX_src.sit.bin contains the
source code distribution.
To subscribe to the MacPerl
mailing list, send email to:
mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
whose body consists of the
single word "subscribe".
There are a number of WWW
pages on MacPerl; as a starting point, I recommend my
own page:
