I test all my CGI's under MacPerl and QuidProQuo (free mac web server)
before moving them to my ISP.  Some minor translations are usually
necessary (line endings and path seperators being the major ones).

MacPerl: Power and Ease is the definitive book for MacPerl, and worth every
penny (IMO). Programming Perl from O'Reilley (camel book) is the definitive
book for perl in general, although it uses the Unix version for it's
examples.
