| | 9 | =head1 SYNOPSIS |
| | 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 early versions of |
| | 14 | Mac OS X). |
| | 15 | |
| | 16 | When we say "Mac OS" below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and I<not> |
| | 17 | Mac OS X. |

| | 20 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
| | 21 | |
| | 22 | The port of Perl to to Mac OS was officially removed as of Perl 5.12, |
| | 23 | though the last offical production release of MacPerl corresponded to |
| | 24 | Perl 5.6. While Perl 5.10 included the port to Mac OS, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, |
| | 25 | a core part of Perl's module installation infrastructure officially dropped support for Mac OS in April 2004. |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | Historical information (and working binaries of the last released version) |
| | 28 | are available from L<http://dev.macperl.org> as of October 2009. |
