I used to get it when MacPerl was installed only on a network drive, and the OSdoesn't go looking for programs on those disks. In short: the OS doesn't find MacPerl, the program. I assume it's on a local drive... Rebuilding the desktop was a good idea, but apparently not good enough. The association between MacPerl's ID and the program itself is still missing. You haven't messed with MacPerl's creator type, have you? -- Bart.
