Mac OS X: Reinstalling Mac OS 9 or recovering from a software restore
Learn how to reinstall Mac OS 9, or how to recover after performing a Mac OS 9 Software Restore option on your Mac OS X disk. You might need to do this to install a System Folder for Classic.This does not affect your computer if the Mac OS 9 System Folder that you are restoring is located on a different hard disk or hard disk partition than Mac OS X.This document can help if: The computer will not start up from Mac OS X. When you try to do so, an icon of a belt around a folder appears on screen. Mac OS X files are not in their expected locations after using a Mac OS 9 Software Restore. Important: This refers to older, single-disc Software Restore CD-ROMs, not to newer multi-disc versions. You see an alert box with this message during installation: "Problems were encountered accessing the file 'icon' on the disk 'Macintosh HD.' Please move the file to another folder and try again."

NAME

       README.macos - Perl under Mac OS (Classic)

SYNOPSIS

       This document briefly describes perl under Mac OS (Classic).  If you are running perl under Mac OS X, you don't want to be here (unless you
       are in the Classic environment under Mac OS X).

       When we say "Mac OS" below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and not Mac OS X.

DESCRIPTION

       The latest perl source itself builds on Mac OS, with some additional pieces. Support for Mac OS is now in the perl core, and MacPerl is
       kept in close sync with regular perl releases.

       To build perl for Mac OS (as an MPW tool), you will need the addition of the macos subdirectory, distributed separately.  It includes extra
       source files, config files, and make files.  It also includes extra Mac-specific modules.

       To build the MacPerl application, you will also need the macperl directory, which includes the source files for creating the application
       itself.

       All of this is available from the development site, via HTTP (in the MacPerl Installer, which includes all the source and binaries) and
       anonymous CVS.

	       http://dev.macperl.org/

       The source is also in the main perl repository in the macperl branch (the 5.6 source is in the maint-5.6/macperl branch).

       You will also need compilers and libraries, all of them freely available.  These are linked to from the SourceForge site. Go that site for
       all things having to do with MacPerl development.

       MacPerl 5.6.1 and later are supported on Mac OS 8.1 and later, for 68040 and PowerPC architectures.  The MPW tool may be used on Mac OS
       7.5.5 and 68030 computers.

       MacPerl 5.2.0r4 is also available, on the CPAN and on SourceForge.  It is based on perl 5.004, and works with Mac OS 7.5.5 and 68030 com-
       puters.

       perl was ported to Mac OS by Matthias Neeracher <neeracher@mac.com>.  It is currently maintained by Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>.
