-A. DECOMPRESS
-
-First, make sure you have the latest B<cpan-mac> distribution (
-L<http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/CNANDOR/> ), which has utilities for
-doing all of the steps.  Read the cpan-mac directions carefully and
-install it.  If you choose not to use cpan-mac for some reason, there
-are alternatives listed here.
-
-After installing cpan-mac, drop the module archive on the
-B<untarzipme> droplet, which will decompress and unpack for you.
-
-B<Or>, you can either use the shareware B<StuffIt Expander> program
-( L<http://my.smithmicro.com/mac/stuffit/> )
-or the freeware B<MacGzip> program (
-L<http://persephone.cps.unizar.es/general/gente/spd/gzip/gzip.html> ).
-
-B. UNPACK
-
-If you're using untarzipme or StuffIt, the archive should be extracted
-now.  B<Or>, you can use the freeware B<suntar> or I<Tar> (
-L<http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/cmp/> ).
-
-C. BUILD
-
-Check the contents of the distribution.
-Read the module's documentation, looking for
-reasons why you might have trouble using it with MacPerl.  Look for
-F<.xs> and F<.c> files, which normally denote that the distribution
-must be compiled, and you cannot install it "out of the box."
-(See L</"PORTABILITY">.)
-
-D. INSTALL
-
-If you are using cpan-mac, just drop the folder on the
-B<installme> droplet, and use the module.
-
-B<Or>, if you aren't using cpan-mac, do some manual labor.
-
-Make sure the newlines for the modules are in Mac format, not Unix format.
-If they are not then you might have decompressed them incorrectly.  Check
-your decompression and unpacking utilities settings to make sure they are
-translating text files properly.
-
-As a last resort, you can use the perl one-liner:
-
-    perl -i.bak -pe 's/(?:\015)?\012/\015/g' <filenames>
-
-on the source files.
-
-Then move the files (probably just the F<.pm> files, though there
-may be some additional ones, too; check the module documentation)
-to their final destination: This will
-most likely be in C<$ENV{MACPERL}site_lib:> (i.e.,
-C<HD:MacPerl folder:site_lib:>).  You can add new paths to
-the default C<@INC> in the Preferences menu item in the
-MacPerl application (C<$ENV{MACPERL}site_lib:> is added
-automagically).  Create whatever directory structures are required
-(i.e., for C<Some::Module>, create
-C<$ENV{MACPERL}site_lib:Some:> and put
-C<Module.pm> in that directory).
-
-Then run the following script (or something like it):
-
-     #!perl -w
-     use AutoSplit;
-     my $dir = "${MACPERL}site_perl";
-     autosplit("$dir:Some:Module.pm", "$dir:auto", 0, 1, 1);
