Keeping in mind that I'm a complete MPW neophyte, having only 
installed it for the first time this morning:

I'm trying to build MacPerl using only the stuff that comes with MPW. 
One problem is that UnPreload seems to depend entirely on Metrowerks.

# 10:50:42 AM ----- Build commands for all.

{SFIO}include: -i {GUSI}include: -i "{CIncludes}" -includes unix -w

(etc.)

So I made the following changes to Makefile.mk.  I commented out the 
dependency on UnPreload in miniperl, and commented out the UnPreload 
line in the build instuctions.  miniperl seemed to build properly, 
but the build crapped out  here:

     Duplicate -y miniperl.MrC miniperl
     Begin � End
      Echo 'Include "miniperl.SC" '�''CODE'�'';'
      Echo 'Include "miniperl.SC" '�''DATA'�'';'
      end
     Rez -a -c 'MPS ' -t MPST -o miniperl
#Standard input; Line 2; ### Rez - Warning: No resources read by 
include statement from file "miniperl.SC".
     :miniperl -w -I::lib -MExporter -e 0
     :miniperl configpm
Can't locate Exporter.pm in @INC (@INC contains: lib :) at 
:lib:Config.pm line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at :lib:Config.pm line 2.
Compilation failed in require at configpm line 419.
### MPW Shell - Execution of all.makeout terminated.
### MPW Shell - Execution of BuildProgram terminated.

Should @INC include '::lib' at this point?  Putting the appropriate 
begin block in configpm and rerunning :miniperl configpm, the build 
proceeded to here:

        PPCLink -xm l -sym on -d -o MacPerl.Lib.MrC 
:Obj:MacPerl.c.MrC.o :Obj:XL.c.MrC.o :Obj:OSA.c.MrC.o

         Perl -Sx "::::macos:InstallBLIB" "MacPerl"

### MPW Shell - Execution of install_static.makeout terminated.
### MPW Shell - Execution of BuildProgram terminated.
### MPW Shell - Execution of all.makeout terminated.

And now I'm out of ideas (do I need the old MacPerl MPW tool installed?).
