What good does that do me?

This is kind of a follow up for the next story down. So, I wrote the tool to grab the unprotected game executable, and make a new package with it. It worked, I was happy! I sent it to my friend with the Mac, and he reports back that it won't run. After a few iterations via e-mail, he tells me that he has an older PPC MacBook. I wrote this code on an Intel based Hackintosh. (Dell D610 that runs MacOS 10.5). So, my options were to recompile it for PPC, make a FAT executable that houses BOTH executable formats, or something else. I of course opted for option C. In this case, that turned out to be "Write the fixer app in PERL". PERL has been my hobby language for a LONG time, so I figured I'd give it a shot, and see what I could do. Basically, I took the C code functions, and rewrote each of them in PERL, and then just called them in the correct order. Works like a charm! I think this is my first "cross-platform" crack.
