There is a Convert::Binhex module on CPAN (by Eryq), and Paul Schinder has a Mac::Conversions module which uses Convert::Binhex to do various Mac conversions.

    use Mac::Conversions;
    $converter = Mac::Conversions->new;
    
    $converter->binhex("path:to:MacPerl");
    $converter->debinhex("path:to:MacPerl.hqx");
    
    $converter->macbinary("path:to:Shuck");
    $converter->demacbinary("path:to:Shuck.bin");

    $converter->macb2hex("path:to:MacPerl.hqx");
    $converter->hex2macb("path:to:MacPerl.bin");

Paul, how come this isn't on CPAN?

Regardless, you can pick it up from his web site at:
