Re: [MacPerl] Deleting files & interaction with AppleScript

I thought that someone would bring up the 'why not use File::Spec*?'

older perl installations.  In fact I haven't gotten around to using
File::Spec - nor even base yet.  I certainly intend to do so.

Does catfile() take care of both data and resource forks on MacOS?
