Having been a Mac programmer in a previous life I can safely say that just
getting perl running on a Mac is an exercise in frustration, once you do
figure out which port you need and get it installed it lacks some very
basic functions (the biggest problem for interchange is a really odd
implementation of the Socket module), and the fact that the last release of
MacPerl was in 1998 doesn't help much either...

The Mac is a fun platform, but I have to say that I am extremely glad I
outgrew it and moved on to unix, otherwise I'd probably be bald by now  =)
