Somebody else suggested that a drag-and-drop tool would be useful. Here's a quick AppleScript droplet that accepts files dropped onto it (ignoring directories) and then passes the absolute path of each file to a one-line perl script.

 on open fileList
   repeat with x in fileList
     if folder of (info for x) is not true then
       set y to POSIX path of x
       do shell script ("perl -pi -e \"tr/\\015/\\12/\" " & y)
     end if
   end repeat
 end open

can I use Logan's "alias mac2unix="perl -p0015l0012e '' -i $*"" with this script

on open fileList
repeat with x in fileList
if folder of (info for x) is not true then
set y to POSIX path of x
do shell script ("perl -p0015l0012e '' -i" & y)
end if
end repeat
end open

doesn't work... no error, just wouldn't convert.

Thanks

You might be missing a space between the '-i' and the path to the file.
