Hello,
I am currently porting wxPerl to MacOSX.
Everything mostly works, except that, AFAICT, I can't use the command line
perl executable to run wxPerl applications (apps display a window, but
don't display menus, and behave in strange ways).
To circumvent this I created a Perl.app bundle, using a slightly modified
perl (I added an event loop to process "open document" Apple events). When
I drop a .pl file into the bundle, it is executed correctly. However, when
a .pl script is already running, dropping another .pl file into the bundle
does not open another instance of perl, even if I set CFBundleTypeRole to
Shellin the bundle inf file (attached).
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Mattia
