my solution relies on FAM (from SGI) -- you can get FAM on a variety of platforms, including *BSD, which makes me think it should be portable to OSX. Also, since his needs don't include changing attributes on files, you could strip-out `use Filesys::Ext2...`, and include whatever appropriate module would provide the useful bits for your application.

Just thinking out loud here.
