I have just released the module Data::MacResFile, a module allow Perl
programs to read Macintosh OS resource data on non-macintosh
computers. Most Macintosh software when transmitting files flatten the
resource data for transmission (sometimes combined with the "data
fork" the simple stream of bytes common in files on most other
operating systems). This module should allow cross platform access to
this data.

This version handles the read-only access to the data. I hope to add
resource writing to future versions.

If interested, the module is available at

Comments, criticisims, and bug reports are welcome.
