It's pretty simple. On my Web site,
http://pobox.com/~schinder/MacPerl.html, you can find Mac::Conversions.
Get this and a copy of Eryq's Convert::BinHex from your favorite CPAN
archive or from Eryq's site (URL on my page), and MacPerl can convert any
Mac file into MacBinary or BinHex Then send the encoded file.
