It's quite likely that you can do something, but you're going to have to
tell us what you're trying to do. Since you mention URL's, it sounds as if
you're trying to translate Mac paths from/to URL's. My Mac port of
libwww-perl-5 can do this already, and it comes with MacPerl. But you're
going to have to give us some specifics before we can go any further.
