A much more efficient method would be to use one of the XS AppleScript
methods, including MacPerl::DoAppleScript() in Mac::Carbon,
applescript() in
Mac::OSA::Simple (requires Mac::Carbon), and RunAppleScript from
Mac::AppleScript.
Also system('open', applescript.app) seems to run a tad faster (?)
than RunAppleScript although it is not AFAIK possible to take Perl
variables into and out of AS that way.
In passing I suspect a minor bug with RunAppleScript: in the example
given the Perl script dies even thought the AppleScript succeeds.
Coming back to the original question in this thread: CronniX is a
very nice application which one would be hard pushed to better.
'CamelBones' looks attractive for the kind of GUI one used to be able
to do so easily with MacPerl. I have not found any documentation apart
from the three How To's on the CB site. Can anyone help?

Nicholas == Nicholas Thornton [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Nicholas I've looked at various templating modules on CPAN. The Nicholas reason I'm writing my own is because the templating Nicholas modules I've seen on CPAN are either too robust (undue Nicholas increase in loading time), or don't have the features Nicholas I want, or both. I'm also writing it to try my hand at Nicholas coding things I haven't done before, or in ways I Nicholas haven't done before. While that's an admirable goal, allow me to challenge that on a few points. If you cache the generated Perl code, Template-Toolkit is hard to beat. Will you be caching your parse of your templates? Also, there's a feature-creep in all templating systems. Initially, you don't need nested loops. But then, you do. So you strap it on. And then you want subroutines from others files, so you strap that on. Oh yeah, and arrays would be nice, as would nested hashes. More hacking. But it's worse than that. *You* may not need those features, but you upload *your* templating system to the CPAN, and then I download it and use it, and I find that *I* do. So, in the way that all internet apps eventually evolve to where they can read email, similarly all templating systems evolve to where they look a lot like Template Toolkit. Finally, I'm already familiar with TT, and there's a lot of literature on it (including a forthcoming book), and a very active support community. If you don't choose TT, you lose that leverage. (I could make the same argument for HTML::Mason as well.) Please, carefully consider what you're giving up by starting from scratch. -- Randal L.

Try writing an apache handler using it, rather than a perl script.
That can't be the problem either ... the same script runs just fine
on a Linux box with the same versions of everything.
It is. Linux doesn't attempt to resolve everything at link time,
only when the function is actually used. Darwin attempts to resolve
everything as the program links, causing the error.
You are right, of course. I was responding to the you can't use
Apache::Scoreboard outside of a modperl1/apache1 environment. I
guess this is true on some platforms, but it was working on Linux and
I thought it was intended to work outside mod_perl since the SYNOPSIS
section of the POD specifically says ...
#outside httpd
my $image = Apache::Scoreboard-fetch(http://localhost/scoreboard;);
Maybe you could try building it statically.
OK. How can I do this?
BTW, it does load fine in a mod_perl environment, but appears there
are some byte ordering issues or something ... when I attempt to
access it from a script on my Linux box I get something like ...

iTunes and RMP
ok, here is the basic problem. myFascistHouseMate finally broke down and installed a CD-Rom burner on his PC box, so that he could have things like Mercedes Benz mixed down with other Janis, CCR, et al music that he could load up in his Merdeces 400 Series. He has also installed the iTunes for his PC. But the CD rom he burned does not have 'the play list' 'on it' to keep track of the details about which track is from which artist from the days of Governor Ronald Reagan. He just sent me the RMP file that is an xml document but there appears to be no simple and easy way to co-locate that information with the tracks once I import them off the CD. Is there an easy way to fix this? ciao drieux ---

Okay, in that case you probably know what you are

Sometimes I like to think so ;) Yeah, If I'm looking
for how to do X the first place I look is usually
CPAN; If I know how to do it I'll sometimes still look
on CPAN. One of the things that's kept me from using
modules on CPAN is that until recently I've had a poor
grasp on OOP in Perl, and many OO modules are... ill
defined unless you're quite fammiliar with the jargon.
I'll take a look at Template-Toolkit to see if it
meets my needs. Right now the two biggest features I'm
looking for are (1) accepting functions for values
(i.e. accepting the return of get() as a valid thing
to interpolate); this way the actual variables etc are
hidden behind a black box in case I want to change
them, and (2) being able to parse a single file into
multiple sections (header, footer, etc) so that I can
do something akin to print header; for(){print
entry} print footer; as well as other combinations.
The module I've got so far takes text, and splits it
based on Begin/EndSection metalanguage and when
interpolating it runs eval on anything between
Begin/EndPerl metalanguage; so far this works well
enough.

I'm not sure if I brought this up in a previous mail or not.) But yes, there definately is feature creep. That's actually one of the reasons I'm flat out scratching the old version of the program (which was much ammended) and rewriting it from scratch with a new approach. One part of this new approach is making it so that all the calls for data run through the black box get(); that way, if I decide to use a different XML module, or decide to rearrange variables, or rename them, or whatever, that doesn't affect the templates at all, and doesn't affect many parts of the program outside of that subroutine. cheers, ~wren __ Do you Yahoo!?
