One Macintosh Performa 6400 PowerPC 603e 200mHz computer with an Avid Video Editing Card and four Hewlett Packard Vectra VA Pentium Pro 200mHz computers were used to create PERLjam. The Macintosh workstation runs MacOS 7.5.5 with 92 megabytes of RAM. Of the Hewlett Packards, two run Windows 95, one is a Windows NT workstation and one is Windows NT Server. All of the Hewlett Packard computers have 64 megabytes of RAM. All five machines were connected on a 100BaseT ethernet network.

Two Nikon Coolscan II scanners were used to scan 35mm slides, the source for most of the images contained in this work. An Olympus D-300L digital camera was also used to capture images of plastinated gross specimens. A Hewlett Packard ScanJet 4c flatbed scanner was used to gather other miscellaneous images.

For proofing source code and printing images, a Tektronix Phaser 350 thermal wax color printer and a Hewlett Packard LaserJet 6MP were used.

HTML documents were created using BBEdit 4.0.4 (Mac), WordPad and Microsoft Word 6.0. Adobe Photoshop 4.0 was used for image manipulation. Microsoft Access, Excel and Word (all Office 97) were used for various tasks. O'Reilly Software WebSite Pro 1.1h and Allaire Corporation's Cold Fusion 2.02 served as the web server on the NT server.

The PERLjam CD was burned using the Macintosh and Adaptec's Toast Pro 3.5 and then duplicated by Zomax Optical Media, Inc.
