Perl under Mac \s-1OS\s0 Classic has not been supported since before Perl 5.10
(April 2004).
.PP
When we say \*(L"Mac \s-1OS\*(R"\s0 below, we mean Mac \s-1OS 7, 8,\s0 and 9, and \fInot\fR
Mac \s-1OS X.\s0
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The port of Perl to Mac \s-1OS\s0 was officially removed as of Perl 5.12,
though the last official production release of MacPerl corresponded to 
Perl 5.6. While Perl 5.10 included the port to Mac \s-1OS,\s0 ExtUtils::MakeMaker,
a core part of Perl's module installation infrastructure officially dropped support for Mac \s-1OS\s0 in April 2004.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.IX Header "AUTHOR"
Perl was ported to Mac \s-1OS\s0 by Matthias Neeracher
<neeracher@mac.com>. Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>
continued development and maintenance for the duration of the port's life.
