+=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 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 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 F<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 F<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 computers.
