Re: [MacPerl] Using the Resource Mangler from MacPerl

["Paul J. Schinder" <schinder@pjstoaster.pg.md.us>]

Which brings up a question I've been hunting for an answer for for about a
week.  Eryq has released an alpha of Convert::BinHex, and I'd like to turn
it into a real de-Binhexer for MacPerl.  I know what to do with the data
fork, but what do I do with the resource fork?  Is there a tricky way to
lay down the decoded resource fork, or do you actually have to parse it and
write the resources into a file?  I've been looking around for information
on MacBinary, but the stuff I found on Apple's sites did not look like it
had the answer, or at least the answer I was hoping to find.  (What with a
scriptable Stuffit Expander and all there's no pressing reason to do this,
but it seems kind of stupid not to.)
