Transfer Files from old Mac to a Linux box?
The other half has informed me that I gotta get my own Internet box (been using her's for over ten years) and my ancient Mac SE30 (when's the last time you heard about one of those) has a bunch of Excel and Word files that I want to move to the next machine.
I know that I can spend significant money, buy an Apple, poison the poor thing with Microsoft products and move my files, but I was thinking of making the change to Linux of some sort without further enrichening Bill Gates et al.
Well, can I do it and how would I do it? I do not have a machine yet, so I can buy appropriate equipment. I am getting advice on where buy hardware, where to find shareware, etc. The big issue is salvaging all of the writing and analysis tools I have already written that reside on the SE30. I have a SCSI port so the big trick would seem to be giving a Linux box a way to read the output, but what do I know, I just use the front end...
Advice gratefully accepted here.

aspect::advice::before
Aspect::Advice::Before(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Aspect::Advice::Before(3pm)
NAME
Aspect::Advice::Before - Execute code before a function is called
SYNOPSIS
use Aspect;
before {
# Trace all calls to your module
print STDERR "Called my function " . $_->sub_name . "
";
# Shortcut calls to foo() to always be true
if ( $_->short_name eq 'foo' ) {
return $_->return_value(1);
}
# Add an extra flag to bar() but call as normal
if ( $_->short_name eq 'bar' ) {
$_->args( $_->args, 'flag' );
}
} call qr/^ MyModule::w+ $/
DESCRIPTION
The "before" advice type is used to execute advice code prior to entry into a target function. It is implemented by Aspect::Advice::Before.
As well as creating side effects that run before the main code, the "before" advice type is particularly useful for changing parameters or
shortcutting calls to functions entirely and replacing the value they would normally return with a different value.
Please note that the "highest" pointcut (Aspect::Pointcut::Highest) is incompatible with "before". Creating a "before" advice with a
pointcut tree that contains a "highest" pointcut will result in an exception.
If speed is important to your program then "before" is particular interesting as the "before" implementation is the only one that can take
advantage of tail calls via Perl's "goto" function, where the rest of the advice types need the more costly Sub::Uplevel to keep caller()
returning correctly.
