PERLMACOS(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PERLMACOS(1)NAME
perlmacos - Perl under Mac OS (Classic)
SYNOPSIS
For Mac OS X see README.macosx
Perl under Mac OS Classic has not been supported since before Perl 5.10 (April 2004).
When we say "Mac OS" below, we mean Mac OS 7, 8, and 9, and not Mac OS X.
DESCRIPTION
The port of Perl to to Mac OS was officially removed as of Perl 5.12, though the last official production release of MacPerl corresponded
to Perl 5.6. While Perl 5.10 included the port to Mac OS, ExtUtils::MakeMaker, a core part of Perl's module installation infrastructure
officially dropped support for Mac OS in April 2004.
AUTHOR
Perl was ported to Mac OS by Matthias Neeracher <neeracher@mac.com>. Chris Nandor <pudge@pobox.com> continued development and maintenance
for the duration of the port's life.

Epoch(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Epoch(3)NAME
Time::Epoch - Convert between Perl epoch and other epochs
SYNOPSIS
#!/usr/bin/perl -wl
use Time::Epoch;
my $perlsec = 966770660; # Sun Aug 20 07:24:21 2000 -0400 on Mac OS
my $epochsec = perl2epoch($perlsec, 'macos', '-0400');
my $perlsec2 = epoch2perl($epochsec, 'macos', '-0400');
print $perlsec;
print $perlsec2;
print $epochsec;
# correct time on Unix:
print scalar localtime $perlsec;
# correct time on Mac OS (-0400):
print scalar localtime $epochsec;
DESCRIPTION
Exports two functions, "perl2epoch" and "epoch2perl". Currently only goes between Perl (Unix) epoch and Mac OS epoch. This is in
preparation for an eventual move of Perl to its own universal epoch, so we can get the system epoch of any platform that differs from
Perl's.
Epochs
o macos
Takes additional optional parameter of time zone differential. If time zone differential not supplied, we guess by getting the
different between "localtime" and "gmtime" with <Time::Local::timelocal>.
BUGS
o Hm. With the above test, "scalar localtime $perlsec" under my Linux box and "scalar localtime $epochsec" under my Mac OS box are off
by one second from each other. Maybe a leap second thing? Odd.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:

Hi all...
Well guys and gals, I jumped in at the deep end and found things that PERL cannot do by default.
Many tricky terminal escape codes are not catered for so I had to create workarounds.
One thing I searched for was this:

Well, guys I saw a question about GOTO for Python.
So this gave me the inspiration to attempt a GOTO function for 'dash', (bash and ksh too).

This is purely a fun project to see if it is possible in PURE... (3 Replies)
