| c22d4cd0 |
22 | The port of Perl to to Mac OS was officially removed as of Perl 5.12, |
| 23 | though the last offical production release of MacPerl corresponded to |
| 24 | Perl 5.6. While Perl 5.10 included the port to Mac OS, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, |
| 25 | a core part of Perl's module installation infrastructure officially dropped support for Mac OS in April 2004. |
