There's always this: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; my $unix = "/Users/gruber/Documents/foo"; # find the name of the user's startup disk. my ($hd_name) = MacPerl::MakePath((MacPerl::Volumes)[0]); # change all slashes to ::. $unix =~ s#/#:#ig; # and prepend the HD name. my $mac = $hd_name . $unix; Caveats: only run-able under Classic due to need for MacPerl::Volumes. Also, if your Unix path has a ":" in it, the conversion for fail. OS X's Finder turns all ":" in a Unix name to slashes: # in shell touch "filename:something" # in Finder filename/something -- Morbus Iff ( i am your scary godmother ) http://www.disobey.com/ && http://www.gamegrene.com/ please me: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/wishlist/25USVJDH68554 icq: 2927491 / aim: akaMorbus / yahoo: morbus_iff / jabber.org: morbus
