Chris, Just a quick note to let you know that the trouble I thought I was seeing on the 68k was user error: I hadn't converted line feeds in Mac::Conversions.pm. At any rate I was able to successfully gunzip, untar, and do endl conversions on the files in File-Spec-0.7.tar.gz on both the CFM68k installation and the PPC installation. (In both cases I did not Autosplit Compress::Zlib.pm hence I saw a warning about the autosplit.ix file missing). Excellent work!! These droplets make it trivial to unpack CPAN modules. Thanks.
