Re: [MacPerl] "Epoch-making difference"--time()

Hmm, perl for os/2 (actually the gcc / emx posix compiler that lives
under it) supports / in place of the '\' brain-dead DOS delimiter (Which
btw, I've read, Paul Allen takes credit for)

I suppose it'd be harder to map Mac :'s, the semantics of translation
seem more complex. Nice to have if Matthias could support.
