Re: [MacPerl] Converting From Unix to Mac

["Jon S. Jaques" <jjaques@grovehillsys.com>]

I haven't watched this particular thread much, but I have been considering
a method of creating some methodoligies for making cross-runnable scripts.
I do almost all of my development under NT4.0, and when we need to get this
stuff to run on a Mac, I end up bringing a 190cs PowerBook home for the
weekend; not always a pretty sight! ;-)

Still, though, maybe a module could be put together that could be run on
all versions of Perl (Homogenous.pm?) and would give the programmer a
standard set of methods for hiding the OS.

On a simpler concept, I am working on hiding path problems by using a
variable for the path deliminator, and setting the variable based upon
environment variables.

This works best for new scripts, though, as existing scripts need a good
bit of messing with to "bring them around."

Just my 2 cents!
