Newbie question - where do you get it, and what documentation is available
on using it? I'm using 68030 machines at home (PB 180 and LC III).

I keep having problems when syntax checking (command-option-K) with both
"compiler warnings" and "perl debugger" ticked. Works fine if I just *run*
(command-option-R) the program... but if I'm lucky it crashes out of
MacPerl with a type 1 error when doing a syntax check. If I'm unlicky, even
the "force quit" dialog box crashes before writing the text or drawing the
buttons.

I've lost the original message, but if you're trying to syntax check,
disable the debugger. When you want to debug it, enable the debugger and
run the program.
