OS X Server (and I must admit I don't have 1.2 yet) comes with plain old
Perl, not MacPerl at all.  It should be possible to run MacPerl in
MacOS.app (Classic/bluebox/your name of choice), but there'd be no reason
to.  You should be able, with very little difficulty, to upgrade whatever
version comes with 1.2 (1.0 ships with perl 5.005_02 (or possibly the 1.02
update installs that version.) to the current stable release.

There is ongoing work to create a version of MacPerl that will run under OS
X, last I knew.  I'm sort of looking forward to that, particularly to
working with Mac::Glue in an OS X environment.
