[MacPerl] An Internet Config .pm conflict

[Vic Norton <norton@tweney.com>]

Perhaps nobody else will ever encounter this problem, but I did. I 
thought I'd report it.

In the file mapping section of Internet Config (the Internet control 
panel), I discovered that the extension ".pm" was describing an "xv 
image" file of type "PMpm" and creator "GKON" (Graphic Converter). 
Some downloaded Perl modules were ending up with this type-creator 
pair, even though I used  Chris Nandor's "installme" droplet to 
install them. I've since changed all these bad type-creator pairs to 
"TEXT,McPL" and redefined the ".pl" extension in Internet Config.

I've never opened an "xv image" file in my life. I'm not sure where 
Internet Config got the "xv image" extension, but I thought I'd say 
something about it. It happened to me. It could happen to somebody 
else.

Regards,

Vic
