The prompts it suggests are commandline shell script prompts on unix. It is not a perl
script. It should not be executed by MacPerl. That is not the intention of the INSTALL
instruction. It might be possible to emulate that environment using ToolServer, but it
is hardly mac-like and hardly necessary in this case.
I recommend you follow Thomas and Alan's advice.
- Unpack the distribution - using Stuffit or the installme droplet
- Place the distribution in the specific directory you want, named as you want
- Create a MacPerl script and save it as a droplet in that directory
Something like Alan's suggestion:
#!perl
unless (-e "Knapton:Desktop Folder:MHonArc") {
mkdir "Knapton:Desktop Folder:MHonArc", 655}
$fold = MacPerl::Ask(
"Name of mail folder", "Knapton:System Folder:Eudora Folder:Mail Folder:"
);
@ARGV = (-outdir, "Knapton:Desktop Folder:MHonArc", $fold);
do "mhonarc";
__END__
Where you replace the paths with your paths and options according to the MHonArc's
documentation.
