Wouldn't it be nice if (a wrapped?) MacPerl or Shuck automatically
provided this kind of information exactly at the time and place that
it is needed?  Could a generic wrapper provide that service, giving
hints, or better handling the setup and the conversion itself?  How
would you make the wrapper reusable?

Could I afford to pay somebody to do that?
