Re: [MacPerl-AnyPerl] working with zipped files

It may need a bit of work but probably not much. I haven't used it, but I 
just now downloaded it and scoped out the source. It looks pretty tight, 
very well-commented, and there are even some MacOS-related constants, so I 
suspect that it'll either work right out of the box on Macs, or with minimal 
effort (probably filename and path kind of stuff).

The lion's share of modules on MMP are XS. Ideally the place to check would 
be CPAN-Testers, but speaking from personal experience the testing effort 
for MacOS is basically fruitless, and so checking CPAN-Testers isn't 
particularly useful. No reflection on anyone who is still doing MacOS 
testing, but the task is Sisyphean. :-) Not finding a module on MMP, in 
other words, is no seal of approval. :-)
