Re: [MacPerl] newbie query

Daniele,

I'm in a similar situation: on a Mac, trying to use Unix server resources as
little as possible. What I've been doing is adapting the test scripts to run
in the Mac environment, and then test only select scripts on Unix. If you
use MacHTTP, you can set your own machine up as a server and execute any
basic perl script you would also use on Unix; you simply cannot use
Unix-specific OS calls on the Mac. Depending on what you'll be using perl
for, this can work out quite well.
