Getting mhonarc to work with MacPerl

Is anybody on the list familiar with MacPerl?  I'm trying to
incorporate MacPerl support into mhonarc based upon patches sent
to me by Achille Petrilli <achille(_dot_)petrilli(_at_)cern(_dot_)ch>.  I've
sent mail to Achille, but have yet to here back, so maybe someone
else can help out.

Issues/questions:

    How does one specify an absolute pathname under MacPerl?

    How are end-of-lines handled (\r vs \n vs \r\n)?

    Can installation follow the same procedure as Unix/MS-DOS?

I've updated the mhonarc code to deal with Unix, MS-DOS/Windows, or
Mac (based upon what Achille gave me).  The main thing left is
the installation process (reason why I ask about absolute pathnames).

Also, when I get something ready, I'll need someone who has access
to MacPerl to test things out.

Any help appreciated,
