+=head1 NAME
+
+README.macos - Perl under Mac OS (Classic)
+
+=head1 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 early versions of
+Mac OS X).
+
+When we say "Mac OS" below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and I<not>
+Mac OS X.
+
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The port of Perl to to Mac OS was officially removed as of Perl 5.12,
+though the last offical production release of MacPerl corresponded to
+Perl 5.6. While Perl 5.10 included the port to Mac OS, ExtUtils::MakeMaker,
+a core part of Perl's module installation infrastructure officially dropped support for Mac OS in April 2004.
+
+Historical information (and working binaries of the last released version)
+are available from L<http://dev.macperl.org> as of October 2009.
+
+=head1 AUTHOR
+
+perl was ported to Mac OS by Matthias Neeracher
+E<lt>neeracher@mac.comE<gt>. Chris Nandor E<lt>pudge@pobox.comE<gt>
+continued development and maintenance for the duration of the port's life.
