-=head1 NAME
-
-README.machten - Perl version 5 on Power MachTen systems
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-
-B<Power MachTen is not supported by versions of Perl later than
-5.6.x.>
-If you wish to build a version from the 5.6 track, please
-obtain a source distribution from the archive at
-L<http://cpan.org/src/5.0/> and follow the instructions in its
-README.machten file.
-
-MachTen is no longer supported by its developers, Tenon Intersystems.
-A UNIX environment hosted on Mac OS Classic, MachTen has been
-superseded by Mac OS X and by BSD and Linux implementations for Macintosh
-hardware.
-The final version of Power MachTen, 4.1.4, lacks many features found in
-modern implementations of UNIX, and has a number of bugs.
-These shortcomings prevent recent versions of Perl from being able to use
-extensions on MachTen, and cause numerous test suite failures in the
-perl core.
-
-In September 2003, a discussion on the MachTen mailing list determined
-that there was no interest in making a later version of Perl build
-successfully on MachTen.
-Consequently, support for building Perl under MachTen has been suppressed
-in Perl distributions published after February 2004.
-The hints file, F<hints/machten.sh>, remains a part of the
-distributions for reference purposes.
