That make three positive replies so far.  I took a look at the archives, 
and the only references to WASTE in a MacPerl context had to do with 
building MacPerl AROUND WASTE rather than allowing access *to* WASTE from 
within MacPerl.  Both are good ideas, but I'm only going to do the 
latter, and let more capable programmers handle the actual *MacPerl* 
source.

It's going to take me some time to tool up (clear out some space on my 
Hard Disk, D/L the prerequisite source code, load the old libraries from 
my Codewarrior 11 disk (I just happened to have this)), etc and so forth. 
 There may be a long silence before my first update, but I promise to 
keep the list posted on my progress.
