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 
.<nervous tick='serious'> _And_it's_starting_to_wear_me_down_ 
</nervous>

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?
