Hello I have a version of cron I've written in perl and am intersted in insuring cross-platofrm functionality. I use Geopt::std to get many options, but there does not seem to be any way to provide command-line options to perl scripts with MacPerl.
I was expecting MacPerl (coming form Linux and Windoze) to brovide a rudimentary CLI to allow this, or perhaps (and this is what I'd like to propose): MacPerl is smart and sees if there is a -s on the command line it prompts with an input bux for options. Getopt::Std and Getopt::Long are modified to either produce the input field as above, or be a bit smarter and use some of that wacky Apple stuff to present appropriate input widgets (checkbox, input field) for each option. PS> Please (b)cc me with any replies as I am not on the list.
