-=head2 MacPerl
-
-Quite a bit has been written about MacPerl, the Perl distribution for
-"Classic MacOS" - that is, versions 9 and earlier of MacOS. Because it
-runs in environment that's very different from that of UNIX, many things
-are done differently in MacPerl. Modules are installed using a different
-procedure, Perl itself is built differently, path names are different,
-etc.
-
-From the perspective of a Perl programmer, Mac OS X is more like a
-traditional UNIX than Classic MacOS. If you find documentation that
-refers to a special procedure that's needed for MacOS that's drastically
-different from the instructions provided for UNIX, the MacOS
-instructions are quite often intended for MacPerl on Classic MacOS. In
-that case, the correct procedure on Mac OS X is usually to follow the
-UNIX instructions, rather than the MacPerl instructions.

-=head2 Carbon
-
-MacPerl ships with a number of modules that are used to access the
-classic MacOS toolbox. Many of these modules have been updated to use
-Mac OS X's newer "Carbon" toolbox, and are available from CPAN in the
-"Mac::Carbon" module.
