There are two Perl modules for working with file types and creators. The first one, which I maintain, has been around on MacPerl for years, and has recently been ported to Mac OS X as part of the Mac::Carbon distribution. It is in the MacPerl module (named so for historical reasons) and the functions are GetFileInfo() and SetFileInfo(). Documentation is in the MacPerl POD.
The other is the MacOSX::File distribution, which has similar functionality (I don't recall the function/methods used, but again, the documentation is in the module). -- Chris Nandor [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pudge.net/ Open Source Development Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://osdn.com/ _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
