Actually, that's not quite right.  :-/

There is the slight problem of the "\n" versus "\r" versus
"\n\r" and the problem of the ":" versus "/" versus "\"
things.  Or to be more clear:

End-of-line separators:

The Mac uses "\n".
The IBM uses "\r".
Unix uses "\n\r".

Directory separators:

The Mac uses ":".
The IBM uses "\".
Unix uses "/".

But other than this - there isn't a lot of differences SO
LONG AS you don't start using the Mac specific routines in
MacPerl.  :-)
