[MacPerl-Forum] Re: Long file Names and Macos 9

[Will Merrill <wamerrill@uswest.net>]

Roger,

Don't know of a Perl solution handy at the moment, but I do know of one that
is free and is written in Java.  If you know Java, you might want to check
the code out for some ideas.  The application itself is specialized in that
it takes the HTML files produced by the standard version of the javadoc
program and converts the long file names to be compatible with the Mac.

The web site is:

http://amug.org/~glguerin/sw/index.html

The application is called Fancy-API2Mac
