RE: [MacPerl] Resource file hacking with MacPerl

["Creede Lambard (Volt Computer)" <a-creela@microsoft.com>]

I've wondered about creating a TieResources module that would do all this
behind the scenes for you. There's a similar routine in ActivePerl for Win32
called Win32::TieRegistry that automates a bunch of the dirty work of
playing with the you-know-what on that platform, so it certainly seems like
TieResources should be possible. I've brought my copy of Advanced Perl
Programming in to work today just in case I run out of things to do and can
play with Tie a little (not that that's very likely, mind you).

Yep, it is a pain in the arse, and you have to be careful.  What might be
useful would be an OOP interface with a DESTROY method that closes it
automatically when you're done.
