Thanks for this valuable info. Although this is not MacPerl specific, this
is something you cannot very easily ask on the Perl mailing list, since
people there generally have a UNIX background, which many MacPerlers, I
think, don't. Most important for me was, to learn that I can look this up
in a C-handbook.
