I have it; haven't read it yet.  It looks like a lot of it deals with using
LWP (libwww-perl).  Anyway, there should be no differences in using the
client for UNIX Perl or MacPerl.  The only differences I can think of might
be:

1.  A client that forks off a child process
2.  A client that calls another Perl script on the same machine
3.  A client that depends on UNIX programs like sendmail
4.  etc.


But chances are, none of these holds true for the clients in the book.  The
examples I saw are pretty straightforward.
