This is a ready-to-install binary distribution of Perl 5.004_02 for NEXTSTEP / OPENSTEP / Prelude to Rhapsody. As a special bonus it is built with SysVIPC shared memory/semaphore support. (see ftp://ftp.nl.net/pub/comp/next/SysVIPC/.) perl.pkg contains the base Perl executable, libraries and man pages. If you want to create Perl extensions or embed Perl into your own programs you must also install perlCORE.pkg (see `ExtUtils::MakeMaker.3' and `ExtUtils::Embed.3' in `/usr/local/lib/perl5/man/man3' after installation of perl.pkg.) The perl-examples archive contains some sample perl scripts, as distributed with the perl source. These are not installed by default; do with them as you see fit. It also contains cperl-mode.el, yet another perl editing mode for Emacs 19.29 or later. This is not installed by default since it may conflict with `perl-mode.el' as shipped with Emacs. If you want it, install it in /path/to/lib/emacs/site-lisp/. This perl distribution has been tested on NeXT and Intel, but not on Sparc or HPPA. Use it at your own risk.
