On 68K machines, if you want to use modules based on extensions, other than
the standard Socket/IO/DB_File/whatever listed in the back of the blue
Camel, then you need to use a different version of the application.  To use
all the Mac:: modules and GD (and MIME::Base64, too?), you need the
big_appl application, where those modules are built-in.  If you want to be
able to dynamically load any extension-based module, you need the CFM-68K
version.

Both are on the FTP sites, and you can find out more by looking at my
whichMacPerl program on my page at:
