[MacPerl] A general question

[Awrobinson@aol.com]

This is going to be a long premise for a very general question...

I have been having lots of problems with Mac OS 8.0 and 8.1 on my Supermac
C600x/280. I've been led to believe that the problems probably result from
Apple's disk drivers. So as I prepare to rebuild my main hard drive, I'm
afraid I going to have to revert to Mac OS 7.6. That was the OS loaded on my
mac when I bought it.  However, there is some Finder functionality that I will
really miss. In particular, I like being able to arrange icons aphabetically
in a folder. 

The short question is, can I replicate some of this functionality with
MacPerl? 

I've been using MacPerl for half a year or so, but I haven't delved into the
Mac-specific or toolbox functionality. Now for the general question. If I can
replicate some of the 8.x Finder functions, how do I go about it? Since I'm
posing a general question, I'm hoping for general answers, like what toolbox
routines should I look into, what references should download, etc.

MTIA...
