# Can't locate MacPerl.pm in @INC (@INC contains: : Dev:Pseudo:). File 'Macintosh HD:SRC:printimeb'; Line 5 # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. File 'Macintosh HD:SRC:printimeb'; Line 5
(This version happens to be an alias pointing to the real script. It makes no difference which is present; the alias or the actual script.)
From this very simple script:
#!perl -w # # Write date and time to bootlog file. # use MacPerl; open(FO,">>Macintosh HD:.a:Boot-Log") or die "Can't open output $!"; my $t = localtime(time); print FO "$t\n"; MacPerl::Quit(2);
It is stored as a runtime (the icon is a pyramid).
The intent is also very simple; merely write a record to a file called "Boot-Log" every time the system is booted. I can drop the "use MacPerl" and change the quit to exit, but the interpretor/compiler stays running. I'd like it to just start itself, run the script from the "Startup" folder, then quit.
I apologize in advance if this has been covered, but I can't recall for certain if it has.
Thanks!
Bill
