If you have the MacPerl book (or any other PTF product), you can get the
MkLinux book at a discount direct from PTF.

There is nothing to convert.  It is just text.  Do you mean convert text
formats, essentially just converting newlines?  That should be taken care
of by your FTP server or other software when transferring the files.  Or do
you mean converting the actual code?  You don't normally need to do that
for well-written Perl code that is meant to run on Mac OS and Unix, and if
it does need to be done, no program could do it for you.
