However, something like "PPC Macintosh *including* G3 models" would be
useful information, since there are differences other than the chip.
(Little things like NuBus vs PCI, graphics hardware, etc etc.)  Then
there's iMac, which is different again and uses a "G3" chip (750), although
Apple refrains from calling it a G3 machine <at least most of the time>.
And the upcoming "Yosemite" machines, which seem more like iMac than what
is currently called a G3 Mac.

For most purposes (including MacPerl), most of the above distinctions don't
matter <much, at least>...for various Linux variants, they do.  [I'm
constrained to some distribution of MkLinux, since I run Linux on my 8100,
not the 7300.]

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.  Teach him to fish,
and you get rid of him for the weekend.
