Troubleshooting Mac OS X installation from CD or DVD
For a successful upgrade or installation of Mac OS X, the installer will need to complete all of the following steps: Start up from the Install or Restore disc (all Mac OS X versions) Computer check (Mac OS X 10.4 or later) Source disc check (checks your installation DVD or CD, Mac OS X 10.4 or later) Destination (hard drive) check (checks the installation volume, Mac OS X 10.4 or later) Install Mac OS X (all Mac OS X versions) If you have issues with the above steps, or have any of the following questions, use the troubleshooting tips in this document. Unable to start up from the installation disc? Cannot complete computer check? Cannot complete source disc check (checking your installation DVD or CD)? Unable complete destination (hard drive) check (checking Installation Volume)? Install starts but does not complete (an alert message appears)? Issues after the installation finished? Is it OK for reinstallation to be slower?

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.

AUTHOR

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