Obtaining and Installing the MacPerl Application

  1. Download MacPerl from sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch. The archive should extract automatically to yield Mac_Perl_520r4_appl. If not, use Stuffit Expander to do so. (Note: there might be a newer version of MacPerl, check out the SWITCH ftp directory for MacPerl or go to the MacPerl Homepage).
  2. Install MacPerl by running Mac_Perl_520r4_appl.
  3. That's it.
Note: there is also a MacPerl tool for MPW. This tool can also be obtained from SWITCH ftp directory for MacPerl (called Mac_Perl_520r4_tool.bin). You need the MacPerl application to use the tool. MPW can be obtained from Apple's MPW ToolZone.
