Re: Interface advice needed
Hi, I need a very simple set of interface elements. some people on this list have recommended Pashua. http://www.bluem.net/downloads/pashua_en/ That is probably the easiest way to pop up dialog boxes from Perl. I have a program that I am writing on Mac OS X. It might need to run on OS 9, but I can probably avoid that. Pashua will tie you to OS X. Maybe i need to break down and learn Cocoa and Objective-C. You can learn Cocoa without Objective-C (and use Perl instead) with CamelBones. None of that will work on OS 9, either... Cheers, Thilo
CPAN troubles
It seems to be working fine eventually but I'v noticed that I've started getting this error when I run CPAN: LWP failed with code[500] message[LWP::Protocol::MyFTP: connect: Invalid argument] I was wondering what might be causing that? ~wren __ Do you Yahoo!?

Re: Location of Files to be Printed

Does OS X do something similar, and if so, where does it put these files? Panther uses CUPS (Common Unix Printing System, http://www.cups.org), and queued print jobs are stored in /var/spool/cups, as PostScript documents. Dunno about Jaguar earlier. Obligatory Perl Reference: Although CUPS is installed and working (for both native Mac and Fink-installed Unix apps), the development headers are nowhere to be found, so Net::CUPS doesn't want to compile. sherm--
Re: Location of Files to be Printed
Dunno about Jaguar earlier. [reiisi-rend:~] family% ls -la /var/spool/cups ls: cups: Permission denied heh. Permissions are correct. Anyway, cups could be got to run (with a lot of patience, as I recall) in 10.0. It ran, if not with fully satisfactory results in some cases, in 10.1. I haven't noticed any serious issues in 10.2. Obligatory Perl Reference: Although CUPS is installed and working (for both native Mac and Fink-installed Unix apps), the development headers are nowhere to be found, so Net::CUPS doesn't want to compile. I'm sure I've seen stuff for cups on Apple's developer's sites. Can't say where, or if it was enough to compile Net::CUPS.
