It's just using Convert::BinHex's macbinary_crc() to compute a checksum for
the MacBinary header, as I recall.  (It's also the only MacBinary code I
know that actually does this; all the MacBinary examples I looked at when I
was writing this had a 0 in the checksum slot.  Not suprising, I suppose,
since only the header is checksummed, so it seems rather pointless.)
Convert::BinHex can be found at CPAN:
