>What kind of apps do you make with it? The "primary" app I wrote/use merges mailing lists from different sources, but it would run on any PERL.
I use MacPERL mostly for ad hoc computation rather than application writing per se. I like the tight edit/compile/debug cycle of MacPERL. Mostly I code in a read/eval/print loop (as in traditional Lisp programming), so I can examine and modify "live" variables and develop/test code one expression at a time. MacPERL is great for this because I never have to change the frontmost application. >Also, is there somewhere a quick and dirty tutorial available that shows >you how to make a window and some objects for it? This way I could also >start making *real* MacPerl apps. I found _MacPERL Power & Ease_ contained many tips I would never have figured out otherwise--an excellent "quick and dirty tutorial" IMO. When I tried doing stuff with Macintosh windows, I had to resort to consulting _Inside Macintosh_ a lot. It's not nearly as user-friendly as PERL/Tk, and requires knowledge of MacOS systems programming.
