Re: [MacPerl] MPW

[Vicki Brown <vlb@cfcl.com>]

The MacPerl MPW tool can be downloaded from
ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/software/platform/macos/perl/ (or your
nearest CPAN mirror (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/)

You want Mac_Perl_520r4_tool.bin.
You also need the rest of the MacPerl distribution, Mac_Perl_520r4_appl.bin
which you'll need to install first. (Mac_Perl_520r4_tool.bin only contains
the MPW tool, not the libraries, etc...)

What you'll get from the Apple site is MPW (which you need if you want to
use the MacPerl MPW tool) but whether the current MPW distribution contains
the latest version of perl is a different question.

Are you asking how much of MPW you need?  Or where to find the perl tool?
Do you already have MPW installed?
