Mac::Conversions. CPAN/authors/id/S/SC/SCHINDER/Mac-Conversions-1.00.tar.gz.
As the name implies, it only works under MacPerl.

If you're then sending to an FTP server on another MacOS machine, you
can use $ftp->quot to turn MacBinary mode on.  For example, when
sending MacBinary from my Unix machines at work to my Mac at home when
it's running MacOS, the script that does the work does the following
just before sending a MacBinary to NetPresenz:

            $ftp->binary;
            $ftp->quot("MACB E");
