#155 VISEData

[Anonymous]

I have tried a number of times to install Perl using
MacPerl Web Installer on a Macintosh G5 with Mac OS X
10.4.4. It attenpts to download, but comes up with the
message VISData "seems to be corrupted," and nothing is
installed. What should I do?

Thank you,

Are you sure this is what you want? MacPerl is a port of
perl to the traditional Mac OS environment -- if
successfully installed, it would only run inside Classic on
OS X.

Mac OS X ships with the unix-native perl tool, located at
/usr/bin/perl. If you just want to hack Perl, use that. If
you want to use Perl modules specific to Mac OS, try
