MacPerl

• cpan.org has a list of mirrors
• A searchable index of CPAN.
• CPAN Testers, a volunteer effort to test as many of the modules submitted to CPAN as possible on as many platforms as possible, including MacPerl. If you want to see whether a module works under MacPerl, check here first.
• The best way to deal with CPAN is by using Chris Nandor's cpan-mac module, which includes CPAN.pm plus all of the modules that CPAN.pm uses. Chris has packaged together all the pieces you need in a Stuffit archive with a convenient installer written in MacPerl.

• The MacPerl Sourceforge site.
• The MacPerl Pages at Prime Time Freeware. They have published a book and CD about MacPerl, MacPerl: Power and Ease, by Vicki Brown and Chris Nandor.
• The MacPerl Module Porter's Page. Check here for pre-built versions of CPAN modules that require compilers and ports to MacPerl of CPAN modules that are pure Perl but have non-portable code that would otherwise cause trouble.
• The MacPerl mailing lists. See the page for details on what lists are available and how to subscribe
• Chris Nandor's MacPerl page

• www.perl.com at O'Reilly.
• The Perl Mongers
• Perl Monks
• O'Reilly and Associates publishers of many excellent Perl books and the place where Perl's author, Larry Wall, now works.

• libwww-perl-5, by Gisle Aas and Martijn Koster. libwww-perl 5.47 and above now include full MacPerl support as distributed. You will also need URI, which now also includes full MacPerl support. Since libwww-perl-5 uses libnet for FTP URL's, you should download libnet if you download libwww-perl-5. You'll also need MIME::Base64, which has been spun out of the standard libwww-perl-5 distribution, and you may want Digest-MD5 to do Digest Authentication.
• Graham Barr's libnet, a collection of client modules for nearly every protocol but HTTP, including FTP, NNTP, and POP3. libnet 1.0607 and above now fully support MacPerl. You may want to continue using the Net::Config in your MacPerl lib folder, which asks Internet Config for the address of various servers. Otherwise, construct your own Net::Config by running the Configure script included in the distribution.
• libnet uses (but no longer requires) Data::Dumper, so you should download this as well. This link points to Chris Nandor's compiled shared version of Data-Dumper for MacPerl, which also includes the pure Perl .NOXSUB version if for some reason you can't use the shared libraries.
• Graham Barr's Mailtools now includes full MacPerl support, and no longer needs to be modified.
• Eryq's Convert::BinHex is a module which can encode and decode BinHex. I have written a MacPerl front end, Mac::Conversions, which can convert both BinHex and MacBinary files to and from native Mac files, as well as convert between BinHex and MacBinary. Read the included pod documentation with Shuck for details. Conversions.pm should be placed in a folder named Mac in your MacPerl library search path, and requires Convert::BinHex.
