- Version 4.0.6 of the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop port of Perl is now
- available at:
-
- nic.switch.ch software/mac/src/mpw_c/Mac_Perl_406_{src,appl,tool}.sit
- ftp.eunet.ch software/mac/perl/Mac_Perl_406_{src,appl,tool}.sit
-
- Mac_Perl_406_tool.sit.bin contains an MPW Tool.
- Mac_Perl_406_appl.sit.bin contains a standalone application. If you don't
- have MPW (or don't even know what MPW is), you need this.
- Mac_Perl_406_src.sit.bin contains the MPW C sources. If you want to recompile
- them, you also need the GUSI and gdbm packages which are in the same
- directories.
-
- MAILING LIST
-
- There is now a mailing list for announcing new releases, sharing scripts, and
- discussions about how to make MPW Perl change your life. To subscribe, send
- a mail to <mpw-perl-request@iis.ethz.ch>
-
- CHANGES SINCE 4.0.5
-
- - choose() for files no longer includes the terminating null character.
- - rename() and TCP sockets work better (thanks to Brad Pickering for reporting
- these bugs).
- - standalone version can read scripts from its data fork and accepts more
- startup files.
- - (hopefully) improved the documentation a little. Added ObiWan support.
