CPAN says that perl is standard on OS X, but the Apple site makes no mention
of perl being included with Tiger, the current flavor of OS X.
The Apple site doesn't mention sed or grep either - it's not exactly aimed at
geeky audience. But don't worry - they're there. :-)
I'm thinking of getting a Mac, but I want perl on it. Am I looking at a
download and install?
Tiger ships with 5.8.6.
You'll need to install Xcode if you want to install modules though - You
won't need the IDE, but dev tools such as make, GCC, etc. are bundled with
the Xcode package and aren't installed by default. New Macs include an
Xcode installer out of the box, but it's not a bad idea to register for a
free ADC account at <http://connect.apple.com> to see if there's a newer
release available - it's a free (but huge) download.
