this adress http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/mac/MacPerl-5.6.1r2_web.bin is not good for downloading MacPerl5. I have downloaded with success from http://macperl.sourceforge.net/ with Icab browser.
I have this message: # Can't modify concatenation (.) or string in scalar assignment, near "extern:" File 'disc-extern:macperl5:perl561r2:MacPerl ƒ:Mhonarc:install'; Line 1 # syntax error, near "extern:" File 'disc-extern:macperl5:perl561r2:MacPerl ƒ:Mhonarc:install'; Line 1 # Execution of disc-extern:macperl5:perl561r2:MacPerl ƒ:Mhonarc:install aborted due to compilation errors. I don't understand the syntax error; I don't find in the Perl: a beginner 's guide book, first edition, translated in spanish. thanks for your help,
