Someone would have to port/build/write extensions. All the source to
the Mac:: extensions are there, they would need to be ported to Carbon.

Mac::Glue requires Mac::AppleEvents, Mac::Events, etc., which don't
exist. I hope they do someday. Until then, there's the osascript
command-line utility.
I don't have Mac OS X running right now and am too busy this week; it
might be useful for someone to write a wrapper using the same syntax as
MacPerl::DoAppleScript(), but calling osascript.

Also see the perlport manpage.
