- you have two choices
- I) ftp to ftp.maths.tcd.ie ( i believe) and go somewhere, i do not
- remember exactly, but search a little bit, there are no deep
- directories. there is a port of perl 4.035 with a POSIX library
- for Think C. I do not use it, but i did not have a great impression.
- II) Great is instead and i use it, the MPW port by Matthias Neeracher
- you can find on ftp.msen.com (or nigel.msen.com) in the
- directory /pub/mac/perl? or something like that
- there are the sources with mac differences, additional files,
- gdbm support, limited support for subprocess (1 only, but hey it's
- something) and two binaries: one is an MPW tool and the other
- is a standalone application. I recomment this one. It has also
- neat graphics (look at the cursor, not a beachball but a camel on
- wheels !!!!).
