[MacPerl] Dev:Printer - device file on the Mac?

[skok@itw.uni-stuttgart.de (Holger Skok)]

Hi,

I've recently come across the example PERL code that sends
a PS-file to the selected printer and I am at a loss to
understand what's going on...

Since when are there any device special files on a Mac?
How does MacPerl emulate them?
Which ones are supported?

(I couldn't find anything in the help files)
By the way: I'm still using PERL4...

Thanks in advance for any hints,
H. Skok
