[MacPerl] Mac Toolbox w/ MacPerl

[Anthony Eden <aeden@www.hurricane.miami.edu>]

Hello all,

I want to know more about this, but I don't know where to start.  Is this (MacToolbox 
calls from MacPerl) referenced anywhere?  I want to use this stuff!

> UseResFile(0);
> $name = Get1Resource('STR ', -16413);
> print MacUnpack('STR ', $name->get), "\n";
> UseResFile($res);
> 
> The only non-toolboxish construct in here is MacUnpack, defined in Mac::Types,

Any help would be greatly appreciated...
