Hello World--

I am not new to Perl but I am new to MacPerl, and to Mac development in
general.

My task is to write a simple text-munging app.  Easy enough.  The trick is
that it needs a Mac GUI (to browse for destination/target files and check
off a few options).  I could do this for Win32 using Perl/Tk, but I am
unsure how to approach this for Mac.

As I understand it MacPerl has hooks into Mac's Toolbox, but I have found
scant documentation on MacPerl/Toolbox or on MacPerl in general.

- How viable is creating (simple) Mac GUI apps using only MacPerl?
- What Perl->Mac binary compilers exist?
- Where can I find the best documentation on MacPerl::Toolbox?


Thanks
Pliny
