And from there I just drop in an XS module and build. Kinda messy, but
works for me. Thomas Wegner has an XS tutorial, however, which might be
better:

to do a build for ANY Perl dialect that supports dynamic linking of
extensions. The major bug in Makefiles generated for Mac by the MakeMaker
utility called from MakeFile.PL, are that dependencies are specified
incorrectly with ':' instead of the character 'Ÿ' (option-f) which is the
correct syntax for MPW Make. I wonder wether it's possible to fix this
problem by editing the file MM_MacOS.pm.
Instead of using Apple's make, you might try dmake for MPW, which uses standard syntax. I used it while I was still tolerating MPW.
Of course, most of us now use Mac OS X, where building is much simpler. :-)Probably is, at least if you've really got a MacOS X capable computer. I don't.
I have one, but there are some things I like better about Mac OS 9.
