MacPerl was a different thing, like Win32 Perl, but now that OS9 is 
going, that's kind of a dead end. Perl on OSX is just standard Perl, the 
same as it is on Linux, Solaris, BSD, etc. 

With that in mind, you may want to look at a good Unix book that 
includes documentation about OSX. _Unix Power Tools_ is an excellent 
book, and I seem to remember the current edition having a Perl section 
(though I may be wrong about that), and I know it specifically talks 
about OSX in places.
