Installation of Perspective plugin and secondary plugin path in Illustrator (CS5 CS4 CS3 CS2 etc)

Tutorial: Installation of PerspectiveGrid plug-in and use of secondary plug-in paths in Illustrator CS5 (the same approach basically for Illustrator CS4 CS3 CS2 CS1 etc as well as on PC or MAC OS X). Tutorial shows the setting up of secondary paths for plugins to avoid issues with admin accounts, so a plugin set can be installed to a user account folder instead. Shows the use of the plugin to create a grid for use with perspective. Illustrator and Adobe are registered trademarks of Adobe Systems Incorporated.

Found it! : ) Thanks to this note in the documentation (for any other CS4 Mac users):

"The plugin only appears in object > filters menu (CS4), it has no equivalent (as

yet) live effects feature."

This tutorial seems to be for installing on a PC. What about a Mac? I am having difficulty getting the demo to work in CS4 on a Mac, probably because I'm not sure which folder to put the plug-in in using the Mac OS. Many thanks.
