Yes, I built the Moz sources regularly (before they upgraded to requiring
the latest CW, which I do not have).  I wrote CodeWarriorLib.pm and
Mac::AppleEvents::Simple and Mac::AppleEvents::Launch, all required in the
build process.

Or get it for free.  :)

Yep.  On CPAN or my web site.

    http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Mac/
    http://www.perl.com/CPAN/authors/id/CNANDOR/
    http://pudge.net/macperl/

The first link is for all CPAN modules in the Mac:: namespace.  The latter
two links are for my stuff.  Other people have written stuff in the Mac::
namespace, and other people have written stuff that is not on CPAN or is in
other namespaces, but is still for Macs only.

Regardless, CPAN is usually the best first place to look.  After that, if
you can't find it, this list can usually help.
