The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.
This README covers MacPerl and Mac OS classic. If you are running
Darwin (i.e. Mac OS X) this information does not apply.

The "usual incantation" in the README is probably useless to
you. But you _can_ get there if you have Stuffit expander.
Here's what you do.

1) Download the kit from CPAN.

2) Expand the kit with Stuffit Expander.

3) Make a MacPerl droplet out of the following Perl script:

foreach (@ARGV) {
    my $fn = $_;
    print "Reading $fn\n";
    open (IN, "<$fn") or die <<eod;
Error - Failed to open input file $fn
        $!
eod
    my @data;
    while (<IN>) {push @data, split ('\r', $_)}
    close IN;
    print "Writing $fn\n";
    open (OUT, ">$fn") or die <<eod;
Error - Failed to open output file $fn
        $!
eod
    foreach (@data) {print OUT "$_\n"}
    close OUT;
    }

4) Run General.pm from the expanded kit through this droplet.

5) Open folder 'MacPerl f' (or whatever it's called). Then open
folder site_perl in the 'MacPerl f' folder. Create folder
Games if it does not already exist, then open it. Create
folder Sudoku in Games (if it does not already exist) and
open it. Drop General.pm in the Sudoku folder.

6) Open the bin folder in the expanded kit, and drop file
sudokug on the droplet.

7) Open file sudokug with MacPerl and save it as an executable.

Caveat:

Date::Manip is a heavyweight but useful module. Unfortunately,
it also assumes that time 0 is January 1, 1970. But MacPerl's
time 0 is January 1, 1904. Rather than try to get this patched,
I have simply had the satpass script add a fudge factor. This
implementation will break if Date::Manip ever gets wise to
"non-standard" epochs. Be aware of this should you decide to
use Date::Manip for other purposes.

The sudokug script's 'help' function doesn't work under MacPerl.
This is because it tries to parse the POD out of the script, but
when MacPerl converts the script to an executable, the POD gets
lost. You can find the docs by hunting up the package at
