If you are running perl under Mac OS X, you don't want to be

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
<http://dev.macperl.org> as of October 2009.
AUTHOR
perl was ported to Mac OS by Matthias Neeracher
<neeracher@mac.com>. Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com>
continued development and maintenance for the duration of
the port's life.
