At the moment I'm switching between OS 9 and OSX via 'STARTUP
DISK'->'RESTART' due to the fact none of the drivers for 3rd party
USB periphs (like my ISDN TA modem, the hell I'm going back to 56k)
have been updated yet, which in turn means I'm generating copious
quantities of files with dual creators for those apps I use which
have been ported to OSX. Double clicking them under OSX, causes OS9
'in emulation' to kick in which then goes into a never ending cycle
of restart->crash, restart->crash, restart->crash, as it tries to
load an external HD which is another of those
3rd-party-not-yet-updated jobs. In short I'm having to manually
update the OSX finder to use the OSX version app not the OS9

I've been over the docs at ADC believing system('some_CFfunction')
would be the path to take but I'm unable to make sense of how I can
apply raw carbon code to get perl to do what I want.
anyone got any pointers?
