}Paul, how come this isn't on CPAN?

Two reasons.  One is that until Matthias released 5.14r4, this was useful
only to people running the various betas.  Now, it works *only* for 5.14r4,
since the Mac::Files interface has changed.  It also needs to be cleaned up
a little more.

But the more serious reason is that I'm completely unwilling to jump
through the .tar.gz hoop for a pure MacPerl module.  If the powers that be
at CPAN will accept a .sit.hqx with a MacPerl droplet (let's call it
Makefile.PL just for fun) that guesses where to install, asks the user if
this is right, and then installs, then I'll go ahead and make such a thing.
I'll have to anyway since shortly LWP will be included in MacPerl, and
there needs to be some way to handle the frequent LWP updates cleanly.  If
they insist on .tar.gz, then that's life.  Then not all good things written
in Perl will be at CPAN.  But that's already the case, anyway.
