Re: [MacPerl] MacPerl Migration

[Kevin van Haaren <kevinv@sound.net>]

I did all design work for my cgi's on my mac.  I use BBEdit for the wrting,
then did testing with Netscape and Quid Pro Quo as the web server.  Moving
to my ISP's unix box was mostly a matter of remembering to change the line
ending.  I think I have a couple of sections that did some pathing so I
defined a path seperator variable that I changed depending on which OS was
running (automatically of course).

Somewhere I have 2 scripts that I used a lot in the process.  one was a
droplet to walk a directory tree and convert all files to unix line
endings.  The other was a droplet to convert a script to a CGI
automatically (I really got sick of doing file save as in MacPerl 8-).  If
you are interested I can clean them up a bit and send them to you.
