Re: How do you make a bundle from CPAN?
Actually, I have found out that when you configure CPAN, you can define a different "PREFIX" to a private library and it will not go into the main Perl library you are running. The book "Object Oriented Perl" by Damian Conway mentioned this trick. Thank you for taking the time to even make a suggestion.

Multiple Perl Version on the same server
I have a client whose Production and Development Server version of Perl is significantly out of data particularly with libraries (even though they are running Perl 5.8.0). This become obvious when I moved my program on my Mac at 5.8.8 with its current libraries to their development server. Even though it all worked, a lot of error messages started appearing in the Apache logs. As a good programmer, I started to fix them only to find they were experiencing these errors all the time with all their other programs. Investigating it more, I discovered that their libraries were severely out of date. For example their version of manip.pm is dated 2000. I have propose that they install on their Development Linux server a later version of Perl in another location and migrate the application over (e.g. /usr/new/perl). Their concern is there is only one MySQL program, but the Perl libraries to access it would be different. Second, they think installing a later version of Perl in a different location would overwrite the current library. I am not really clear how Perl locates its install Libraries, so I would like some clarification on this issue with two different versions running. Is there a setup method with Perl to make sure this does not happen? They will probably use CPAN to add the new libraries. How should this be set up? Another issue is they are using a MySQL 4.x version. Not a MySQL 5.x version. On my Mac, I had to load DBI and DBD driver for MySQL 5 and update MySQL to 5.x. But I suppose I can get older versions from CPAN. -- Michael Barto Software Architect LogiQwest Inc. 16458 Bolsa Chica Street, # 15 Huntington Beach, CA92649 http://www.logiqwest.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel:714 377 3705 Fax:714 840 3937 Cell: 714 883 1949 'tis a gift to be simple This e-mail may contain LogiQwest proprietary information and should be treated as confidential.
Re: Mac OS alias from Perl
Yes the alias function in MacOSX is different than regular Unix. If
your software is targets a Unix server and not to only run under
MacOSX, it is much better to make the links on the Mac at the command
line with Unix ln command (e.g. ln -s -which is safer) to test and
maintain a consistent Unix environment. Fortunately Mac support of
regular Unix is really excellent and ln works as advertise on a Mac. By
the way, another "got-you" is the Mac filesystem. On new Mac computers
where the software is pre-installed, the filesystem ignores case. The
is not true in regular Unix. For example: in regular Unix, a file name
like "johnsfile" and "johnsFile" are considered different file. But on
the Mac, they are considered the same. But you have a true Unix
filesystem by reformating the disk to support case sensitive file
naming. This has hurt me several times till I reformated my drive.

Not quite. I forget the details at the moment, but Finder aliases are
kind of like "firm links": while hardlinks point to inodes, and
softlinks point to file pathnames, aliases point to the logical file in
a more robust way than symlinks. For example, if the reverent file
moves, symlinks break, but aliases shouldn't.
If you really want aliases, I think the CPAN modules of Dan Kogai and
Chris Nandor are the place to start. I forget who wrote what, but
modules like (I think) MacOS::File and Mac::Glue can either make the
right calls directly, or leverage Applescript / OSAscript to do this
for you.
Or if symlinks/softlinks are enough, just use the traditional Perl /
Unix methods to make those.

Re: Not exactly a Perl question
Speaking of Solaris and Mac's and multiple OS environments. Solaris 10 is free for X86. It loads really easy in Parallels. There is even a web site where a Solaris Parallels image that is down loadable. Solaris 10 supports a virtualization called Zones (virtual Solaris server). This weekend on an Intel Mac we installed Solaris and setup a couple of Zones all running under Parallels. Each zone has its own IP and login like a regular OS. One zone for the database, one zone for the Web server, with the programming development on the Mac. Note: You need memory to do this. But it is free.

Re: Thanks Apple! You snubbed perl yet again!
The Perl developers are kind of a quiet group. But I think that Apple has done a very reasonable job for developers. I remember even in old MacOS9 that this Perl was ahead of what I had on Sun Solaris OS. There is always a leading edge, but my application need to be distributed, therefore I am more conservative in the version I use. Apple's Perl version fits that real well. And I can always install multiple version of Perl because in a Unix OS. Just define a different path. On the otherside, Apple computers are the best developer's hardware. You can run you Debrian, Redhat, Ubuntu versions of Unix and so forth on the platform-either under Parallels or native. You can also run Solaris 10 (which is free I might add) along with all the varieties of Windows types--all running under one platform. Here you have all the neat MacOS development tools (e.g. Bbedeit, Dreamweaver, Affrus [Perl debugger], etc.) running in MacOSX, at the same time you have the Solaris 10 Application and database server running. At Jave One (in March), Sun Microsystem use Apple Laptops to show the new Java stuff and the developers carrier 4 to one for Apple laptops over the PC's. At the Solaris 10 presentation, Sun stated that their target laptop was from Apple because it woke up. Finally, my recent friends who have purchased new Apple Laptops, tell me that Windows XP runs better under Parallels than on their old PC. I assume that Debrian will be just as impressive. And as I reiterate, you could install the cutting edge Perl on you system and be fine still under MacOSX with all its tools. It is Unix anyway.

Re: Is there a True Boolean type in Perl?
I think in the more newer languages, they have implemented true
booleans. Perl is kind of old school. Pascal defines them as a
grandfather of languages. Therefore as one migrates the languages to a
higher levels (e.g. Perl[n]), they all will end up with a boolean data
type. Therefore, I think the $true and $false is a more consistent
method in a multiple languages environments (particularly doing web
things [Java and _javascript_] for a consistent set of rules across the
board. Thanks for your input.

In my experience the most common convention is to use undef and 1 as
your boolean values, as in:
my $is_scared; # is_scared is initially set to undef, which
evaluates as "false"
if ($monsters_under_my_bed) {
$is_scared = 1;
}
Yeah, it's probably bad karma to use "undef" when you mean "0" but this
approach is very perl-ish, easy to read, and even recommended by Damian
Conway in his "Perl Best Practices" book (page 40... just checked. :-D)
You can, if you really want to, do this:
my $true = 1;
my $false;
Still, it is not much of a substitute for knowing what exactly is
_inside_ your variable and testing it to make sure. Plus, boolean
values are un-perlish. Look at this for example:
if ($var) {
print "Yep!";
} else {
print "Nep!";
}
That is perlish, testing if $var is defined and doing some thing based
on that. You can of course make it clearer with
if ( defined ($var))
But to be really perly and terse, this is the idiom:
print "Yep" if ($var);

my variable at global level not being passed
I am working with an old Perl Library (program module) written in Perl4
and Perl 5 depending who was "hacking the code". My program that calls
it, uses -w and strict and has identified many syntax errors and so
forth in the old library which I fixed. My problem is that this library
needs two variables passed as globals to it to use in one of the
subroutines, One of them is the $dbh variable created when the database
is open. Another is a hash. Both these variables were initiated at the
Main top most level of the program with "my". Unfortunately, this
causes an error and the libraries does not see the global. If I turn
off strict and the -w options and remove the "my" from these variables
assignments, the program works. What is going on? I might point out
that the start of the subroutine that is causing the problem starts
like this.
sub SelectReport (@) {
my ($var,$val) = @_;
# Here is the order in which we try to get the reports:
# matching userid - matching group permission - matching
role_id - userid empty (for everybody)
my $querystr = "select * from report where $var = '$val' and
user_id='$user{userid}'";
print "QS=$querystr\n";
debug("SelectReport1: Q=$querystr");
my $my_error = '';
my $sth = $dbh-query($querystr) || ($my_error="$querystr: ".
$dbh-errmsg);
..
..
..
I already found a call in the library that looks like this
my $sth = SelectReport('report_id',$report_id);
Yes it is a hack issue, but the program has worked for years and the
client does not want the code rewritten at present. Does anyone know
what is causing this unstable results with "my" at the global level not
being passed?
One other note. Yes the all the client programs run with strict and -w
turn off. They think it runs faster with the compiler fixing all the
errors when it is executed.

Re: CGI.pm
This seems like a flame, but I will try and answer your question. The
reason why we are doing the HTML subroutines and so many others with
key at the start (e.g. JSCript, DB, make, get). is mostly to support
long term maintenance and parse out pieces of the code for a very large
project (divide and conquer). The modules libraries are maintained in a
consistent manner. The variables $new_page and $from_page also are
significant in this large code. It just helps the many people that have
to touch this code have an easier path getting though any maintenance.
The main program is nothing more than large set subroutine calls broken
down in sections. The subroutine calls are shared by many modules of
the large project.
Also, I really appreciate "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" response as it did
clarify the issue and was very helpful.

Why are you doing it this way? You do not need a sub and it is best to
use $q (or the functional interface) since if anyone has to read your

for. And why are you printing two new lines? New lines do not show up

Try this:

Hi,
For months I've been trying to figure out what's causing some perl
zombie processes on my system. Looks like it might be the script
menu. I have a script menu item called "tunnels.pl" that establishes
some SSH tunnels, and it works fine. But after I run it, I see this:
% ps auxww|grep '[p]erl'
ken 14697 0.0 0.0 0 0 ?? Z 31Dec69 0:00.00

Its parent process is 1982, which is /System/Library/CoreServices/

ystemUIServer -psn_0_786433 .
Can other people confirm this? Any known bug covering this or
something (not sure where to look)?

'sfunny. I actually prefer to load my machine-wide modules in /usr/
local. Maybe it's just the warm fuzzies, but I prefer to avoid giving
the installation process a chance to walk on modules the system uses.
Of course, I also refrain from updating the system perl by installing
my own machine-wide non-system perl in /usr/local, as well. That
allows the system update process to proceed without doing such things
as bumping into a perl I've already updated past the version the
system update process wants to update.
It used to be that such a course was the default when you used CPAN,
but I haven't re-installed perl in about a half year or so.

Re: Perl Module Installation
If you have downloaded the module instead of using CPAN, look at the
file "INSTALL" in the module. If should tell you what to do:
Typically:
#./configuration
#make
#make check = VERY IMPORTANT!!
#make install
But using CPAN is better.
There are other issues in the MacOS X for manual installation or
modules such as where the modules are install. The manual method may
put them in /usr/local instead of in /Library. Be careful.
LogiQwest uses DBI.pm for our product which runs in Perl for multiple
Unix types. (we develop on the Mac by the way for Unix reasons with
desktops). The following link I have posted that might be useful to you
for you DBI installation. It is part of our documentation (though it is
general for Unix):
http://www.logiqwest.com/dataCenter/Demos/RunBooks/EnterpriseView/Docs/DbiDbdInstallation.html
But many of the other links on this page do not work.

I am also assuming that the right directory for my install is

Re: iCal modules
I once had to read ical-files and did so with Tie::iCal. I found there are plenty of Modules that deal with iCal and a lack of Documentation. Someone might even try without a module at all... Now that you are describing your problem i wonder if there is a site that does just this kind of conversion... Have you considered using an rss-feed? Probably you find something appropriate at www.syndic8.com HTH Am 05.08.2006 um 16:19 schrieb Mike Schienle: Hi all - I'm checking out modules for working with iCal. I want to scrape a financial calendar web site at http://www.briefing.com/Investor/ Public/MarketAnalysis/Calendars/EconomicCalendar.htm and put the dates into an iCal calendar. I checked http://www.icalshare.com/ and there were a couple financial ones from previous years, but nothing current. Apple's iCal section on their site didn't have any financial calendars listed. Does this exist already for this or a similar calendar? Data::iCal looks like an appropriate module to use. Any pros/cons or more appropriate modules to consider? If you'd like to subscribe to the resulting calendar when I'm done, just drop me a line. I'm creating the iCal calendar by hand at the moment, so it's already available. Thanks for any ideas.

Math::GMP and Net::SSH::Perl
I am a novice at this. What am I missing? I downloaded the Math::GMP
ran a config, make, make test and make install.
./configure
make
make check = VERY IMPORTANT!!
make install
everything worked fine. The library was installed in /usr/local/lib
In my load directory, I have a "GMP.pm" file in a development directory
where I downloaded this module before I did the make(s)/install.
When I try again installed this CPAN module which has this dependency
with
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Net::SSH::Perl'
I get

Should I move the "GMP.pm" to say
/Library/Perl/5.8.6/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Math so that the
computation can see it, use libtool (how does that work?) or use an
environmental variable? What is the correct answer to the question
after I have compiled the Math::GMP (yes or no)? Since it is there, I
think it should be no. But it does not see it. Before I hack it to see
it, I would like some advice.
By the way Celeste Suliin Burris, you solved my first part of the
problem in compiling GMP.pm. But who do we report these errors to fix
CPAN without hacking around?

Re: install problems: XML::LibXML::XPathContext
On Aug 1, 2006, at 23:04 , Sherm Pendley wrote: I ended up force installing XML::LibXML::XPathContext Pointless. That will force CPAN to copy the files, but it won't fix the real problem. And with *every* test failing, there's virtually zero chance of it being a problem with the tests - *especially* given that they pass on your PB. Thanks for confirming this. I generally don't force install modules until I have evidence that that's the only option and that the module will still work as expected. In this particular case I was anxious to get on with the project and wanted to see if any problems arose in the absence of any confirmation of the problem. So far I've been lucky, as nothing untoward appears to be happening, but it *is* something I'm uncomfortable with. Nothing so far has indicated a bug in the module. Quite the contrary - the crash dump suggests otherwise: Binary Images Description: 0x605000 - 0x6dafff libiconv.2.dylib/opt/local/lib/ libiconv.2.dylib 0x1008000 - 0x10f0fff libxml2.2.dylib /opt/local/lib/ libxml2.2.dylib ... 0x92a4a000 - 0x92b28fff libxml2.2.dylib /usr/lib/ libxml2.2.dylib 0x92b45000 - 0x92c32fff libiconv.2.dylib/usr/lib/libiconv. 2.dylib Figure out why this module is linked against both copies of libxml libiconv, and I'd bet you'll have solved this problem. Thanks for pointing this out. I don't have a lot of experience reading crash dumps, and your explanation is helpful as an introduction. Try moving /opt aside before building testing the module. Before you do, use otool to see which of these XML::LibXML::XPathContext is linked against - it may also be that one (or more) of its prerequisites (XML::LibXML for instance) is also linked the one in / opt. I've been trying to figure out where the XML::LibXML::XPathContext object files are located, but can't find it. (Am I correct in thinking that's what I should be looking for?) I'm looking in / Library/Perl/5.8.6. And looking at the otool man page, it looks like I want to use otool -L when I finally find it, correct? Thanks, Sherm for your help.

I moved the previous XPathContext.pm and /opt out of the way, hopped into CPAN and installed XML::LibXML::XPathContext again. Installed without a problem, passing all the tests. Is there a way to specify which libs the modules should be linking against, something like changing ones path? I don't see the /opt in the perl -V output (in particular in the Linker and Libraries section), so I'm wondering why it's picking up the libraries in /opt anyway. Thanks again, Sherm!

install problems: XML::LibXML::XPathContext
Hello. I'm having trouble installing XML::LibXML::XPathContext on a Intel Mini (via CPAN). I had no problem installing it on my Powerbook, so I'm wondering if it has to do with a difference between PowerPC and Intel processors (for lack of any other evidence). Has anyone else had trouble installing XML::LibXML::XPathContext? There are a few warnings about arguments differing in signedness during compilation, and a truly amazing number of test failures (failing 200% and 183%, if the numbers are to be believed.) One thing I'm wondering about is the following warning: /usr/bin/ld: warning -L: directory name (/usr/local/lib) does not exist I've tried creating /usr/local/lib and installing again, but not surprisingly it just removes the warning: I still get the same number of test failures. Checking this directory on my Powerbook (with the successful XML::LibXML::XPathContext install), I see a number of libraries, but none of them look like they have any connection with XML (libnmz, libreadline, libsqlite3, libruby, libfcgi, libchasen, libhistory, libapreq). Please find my version and install logs below. I've Googled on some of the error strings, but nothing except for a CPAN install failure log on an older version of Darwin from 7 months ago[1] have risen to the surface. Thanks for any insight, pointers to documentation, or suggestions of things I might try to get it installed are most appreciated.

Re: PerlTK's -clipboardAppend in OSX...?
There are lots of solutions here, but none of them are built into TK, nor can they be. If you want your program to interface with an environment other than the one TK is running ni, it's up to you to make the links. I believe you are asserting here that, PerlTK can not (or should not) concern itself with individual platform issues to which it is ported. I respectfully do not agree. Additionally I notice the developers of PerlTK do not agree. For example, they appear to have made many accommodations for Microsoft Windows. I draw your attention to the Tk-804.027 source files in the directory Tk-804.027/pTk/mTK/win. Take a look at the tkWinPort.h header file in that directory. The PerlTK developers make calls to Windows DLL's, they might want to make a call to OSX libs to make all PerlTK's features work more seamlessly with the native GUI. The developers seem to have lumped OSX into the same category as Unix/X. This is perhaps not the correct thing to do. While OSX runs X, it's primary GUI is not X. Making sure all function calls work well in each target environment make PerlTK a more attractive development tool. Standing back and taking the not my responsibility attitude doesn't help the cause. Solving the problem by adding code to each PerlTK program written is not efficient. Regards,

Correct. Quartz and X11 have different (actually, at least 3) clipboard systems that aren't shared. You can get around this by using copy in the X11.app munbar at the top of the screen. but in order to manage this clipboards entirely from within X11 (TK), you're going to need help.

Malformed filenames
Hello, all! What I have is not a problem with perl on Mac OS X, but rather a problem on Mac OS X that I'd like to solve using perl. I'm not sure how to go about solving it, and am looking for suggestions. I have a number of files that were created on Windows that have Japanese characters in the file name. The files were sent to me zipped. When the zip archive is uncompressed with English as the main language under Mac OS X, the filenames are malformed. (iirc, if Japanese is the main language, this isn't a problem, but it's been awhile since I've done that, and I wouldn't want to have to switch languages and relaunch the Finder every time I unzipped a file that might have Japanese in the filename.) I'd like to make a perl script that would rename the files, but I'm not sure how to force reading the characters as a different encoding, nor sure which encoding I should use. I can handle a little trial and error with the last part (trying different encodings should be a simple matter of a foreach loop :), but am not sure how to approach the re-encoding part. Hints, pointers, perldoc references much appreciated. Michael Glaesemann grzm myrealbox com

I'd be tempted to do a force install on SOAP::Lite. MIME::Parser passed all of its own self-tests (on my machine), so a likely cause of the problem is that SOAP::Lite uses an API in MIME::Parser that has either been vanished or changed. Another possibility is simply that the self-tests are faulty - it happens. I'm still in my training-wheels phase, so I'm a bit hesitant to force install until getting a second opinion--and now I've got it :) Thanks for the explanation as well. BTW, I get the same results on my Linux machine - so it's not something you've done, or something wrong with your Mac. Do you mean the MIME::Parser error or the other test failures as well? (Still am not sure what to do about those, though hopefully a force install takes care of it.) It's definitely an issue with SOAP::Lite and the current version of MIME::Parser. Have you reported the problem to the SOAP::Lite maintainer(s)? I haven't reported it, but I did notice that there was mention on the SOAP::Lite mailing list that one should really install a bleeding edge version of MIME::Tools that reportedly fixes this problem. soaplite ML Thread: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/soaplite/message/4144 updated MIME::Tools http://www.zeegee.com/code/perl/MIME-tools/ Thanks a lot for your response.

Problems installing IPC::Run on Mac OS X 10.3.5
Hello!
I'm having some difficulty installing IPC::Run on Mac OS X 10.3.5.
perl -v returns
This is perl, v5.8.1-RC3 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)
Interested parties can find perl -V output at the end of this email.
I'm using CPANPLUS to install IPC::Run and get the following error
(appended at the end and truncated a bit for clarity):
Googling hasn't revealed much other than a report of the same failure
on perl.cpan.testers with, unfortunately, no solution. I get the same
t/run.t error installing via CPAN as well. Any ideas or suggestions? It
seems that IPC::Run to install other modules I'm interested in using.
I posted this first to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The lone response pointed
out that the test failure was due to a test that unexpectedly
succeeded, and recommended I try here, or perhaps force install. I feel
I don't have enough experience with perl to feel confident forcing a
module installation without having an adequate reason, however.
Thanks for any and all assistance. I look forward to expanding my perl
knowledge--with your kind assistance :)
Cheers,
Michael Glaesemann

I'm sorry about the confusion, Morbus. My .bash_profile contains

The set command, with no parameters, reproduces this as
MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/Users/vic/man
Regardless, I cannot see manuals in either
/man or /usr/X11R6/man
and manpath still produces
/usr/share/man:/Users/vic/man
My conclusion, in bash the value of the variable MANPATH has no effect
whatsoever on man. Maybe bash doesn't need setenv, but, so far, it
can't tell man where to look either.
Apparently we're not supposed to set $MANPATH anymore. There's a
manpath command that man calls to automatically figure out the
paths (from man manpath):
Manpath is used by man(1) to determine the search path, so users
normally
don't need to set the MANPATH environment variable directly.
If you *do* set $MANPATH, manpath just echoes that, without doing
its searching.
There is an /etc/manpath.config file that lets you expand the default
places that manpath searches. On closer looking, and doing several
searches across my whole system looking for manpages, I found that I
needed to add the following lines:
OPTIONAL_MANPATH/opt/local/share/man
OPTIONAL_MANPATH/usr/local/share/man
The /opt/local reference is because I use Darwinports, which (like
fink) puts all its installed files into its own directory. (Note that
I have actually changed /usr/bin/perl to point to /opt/bin/perl, which
may mean that a lot of what I've written may not be true on your
system. ;)
FWIW, DarwinPorts now installs a symlink from ${prefix}/share/man to
${prefix}/man to keep manpath happy.

In any case, from the output of 'make' it looks like the only place it is looking for Apache stuff is in /usr/local/perl-5.8.0/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/darwin/auto/Apache/ and that definitely doesn't have anything related to Apache 2 in it. Any other ideas? Ok, the reason I thought that was the problem, is that when you start porting a module from modperl1 to modperl2, you get similar error messages. Basically, you've got a module which is links against modperl1/apache1 in some way, and it can't find those symbols. Which leads me to conclude you can't use Apache::Scoreboard outside of a modperl1/apache1 environment. Try writing an apache handler using it, rather than a perl script. Mike.

which perl
on the terminal will tell you what binary you are launching
It just says /usr/bin/perl and says nothing about what it links to.
FWIW (as the maintanier of the dports perl port) We deliberately do not
replace the system (/usr/bin/perl) binary. If you want to use perl
5.8.x via darwinports as your 'system' perl you should remove
/usr/bin/perl and replace it with a symlink to ${prefix}/bin/perl
(usually /opt/local/bin/perl).
I've been meaning to add a 'switch_perl' shell script similar to the
one used in freebsd to semi-automate this for those that want it.
Also, I've just updated the perl port to 5.8.1, with the previously
discussed fix for the DBD::mysql issues.

Re: How to stat a symlink rather than its target dir?
In article [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Chris Thorman) wrote:
[Why do I want to use stat() instead of -l? Because I am indexing an entire
disk's worth of files and want to execute the minimum number of stat() calls.
Certainly I don't want to have to use -l with a path on every file -- I want
to get the mode and other stat values once and then use the sys/stat.h (use
Fcntl) macros S_ISLNK, S_ISDIR, etc.]
The _ filehandle can be used to apply the file test operators to the
last file that was referenced by any of them, or by stat. For example,
you can do something like this:
if (-f $file) {
## do something here
} elsif (-d _) {
## do something here
}
The -d operator uses the same stat buffer as the -f operation, without
querying the file system again. This is documented in perldoc -f stat.

Provided you have installed the dev tools of course (no compiler otherwise), if you follow the instructions at appledev perl5.8 the distro will be installed by CPAN in/Users/YOU/usr/local/ and like anyother app you have installed in your user file, it won't be touched by system upgrades, it belongs to you. Install perl via CPAN as shown also won't overwrite the perl used by the OSX system itself (perl5.6, kept in /Sysytem/LIbrary/Perl). Overwriting this would cause problems for the parts of the system even before a system upgrade. Agreed, I was objecting to the guidlines on the Apple website, not installing a local perl as a user. The effect of darwinports I don't know. DarwinPorts puts perl in /opt/local so it should be pretty safe.

What will happen if I use the darwinports perl? Does it automagically replace the existing perl in terms of the command line and what not? Or would I have to use /opt/bin/perl for 5.8.0 (and just perl for 5.6)? DarwinPorts perl will not touch /usr/bin/perl (ie Mac OS X's standard perl). What I do is replace /usr/bin/perl with a symlink to the 5.8 version of perl, that allows things to work with my 'new' perl, but means it is easy to go back to Apple's 'system' perl by simply deleting that symlink and replacing it with one pointing at /usr/bin/perl5.6.0 I'm asking all these questions because I have hosed my perl more than once out of ignorance (most people find installing and configuring perl a trivial task, I'm sure) and want it mostly for using prebuilt scripts and tools, not for writing my own perl (shudder). If you are using prebuilt scripts that need a newer perl, I'd probably use the symlink approach described above, then you can easily back out of the newer pero if you need to, but most scripts etc should, 'just work'.

10.2.x, perl 5.6.1, gcc3.1?
Hello! I'm trying to install perl 5.6.1 on my Mac running 10.2.x (right now it's 10.2.1, but that will change in a couple of hours, when I should be back up to 10.2.4), but there seems to be an incompatibility between perl 5.6.1 and the gcc3.1 compiler that comes with the December 2002 Developer Tools. I keep getting make: *** No rule to make target `built-in', needed by `miniperlmain.o'. Stop. I've been following the instructions posted by Ray Zimmerman http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00895.html and David Wheeler http://david.wheeler.net/osx.html with the variation to use the gcc2 compiler http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03679.html (exact same no rule to make target error back in October 2002.) but of course that didn't work because I don't have a gcc2 compiler. I'd rather not install a gcc2 compiler because I've heard of other incompatibilities with binaries compiled under the two different compilers. Searching for perl 5.6.1 and gcc3.1 under google brought me to a posted patch for linux. http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg84893.html It appears the Ken William's fink installation includes a similar patch. http://archive.develooper.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04611.html I'd rather compile it myself and keep it in it's own directories parallel to the 5.6.0 installation. Is there a way I can use the patch supplied with the Ken William's fink installation during my own compile? If so, where I can look to find how to do this? Or maybe there's a way to modify the fink installation to install where I'd like it to? Thanks in advance for any advice or pointers of where to look for more information.

Mission Critical Perl
Awright, I'm gonna float this one, even if it == $off_topic++; And I float to this group first, because I'm writing mostly ActiveState-deployed Perl on a pilfered Mac running Jag.2.2 and a vanilla Perl install in an MSUBERALL shop. (And BBEdit is still the envy, and bane, of my Windows brethren: Regex this... studio-boy!) Yes, my days are weird, but entertaining. So the reality that I live with is: a. Perl is the Language of Last Resort culturally in the organization. b. Despite the fact that Perl is running mission-critical in EVERY aspect of our business. c. And because of (a.) MANAGEMENT doesn't know how much (b.) is going on. d. if this $ENV is atypical, let me know ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and stop reading, but if this resonates, maybe a Barnumesque maneuver is mandated... Because, I think there is a growing perception out there that is depreciating the value of Perl, and we need to counterfud/act it (I'm still not sure which) now or soon. My notion is that collectively, we add some vocabulary to the gestalt of development... Maybe we call it Mission Critical Perl. You know, it's not com, it's dotnet (I mean .NET). So, it's not Perl it's .MCP. What is Mission Critical Perl? It's code that gets the job done. It's strongly commented, both in architecture and execution. (Yeah, I know. Perl is self commenting. Comment more anyway dammmit.) It logs actions. (No matter how trivial, without metrics - it ain't important. This is essential, if EVERY script you've written isn't logging, write a .pm, go back and include it. We can't show 'em how much we're doing with Perl unless we have a bar graph.) It's code reviewed. It's heralded: Mission Critical Perl. Maybe even .MCP ..MCP When what you need is: RAD, Reliable, Reporting and Robust. So there's my teaser. If I'm alone, cool. I've been meaning to polish the bytes on my resume. But if you're in the same scenario, let's start a movement. JMK PS.

As a software developer I find that distasteful - as a consumer the fact that I have to pay money to have debugging scaffolding removed from a production release - or whatever optimizations were required - just to be told that I have to do it AGAIN at FULL PRICE - completely unacceptable. So, if they should have done that in the first version of OS X, would you have been willing to wait until June 2002 for it? Anyway, if you're a software developer you should know that there are *lots* of ways to increase speed of a project. One is to remove debugging code, which simply couldn't explain the purported difference between 10.1.5 and 10.2. One is to find little sections of your code that are taking a long time and try to optimize them, which maybe can explain some of it. But by most accounts the majority of the speedups came from genuine new development, for instance creating new interfaces between things like graphics accelerators and pieces of the OS.

Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought one of the real core differences was that it was built with GCC 3.1 instead of the 2.95 branch. What does that do for us? Due to various improved compile time code optimizations executable code generated by GCC 3.1 tends to be about 6 percent faster on average than code generated by the 2.95 branch. GCC 3.1 also features a much faster preprocessor which makes compiling faster if you are a developer. A few Obj-C improvements include things like fixed linker warnings, certain @protocal definitions will work properly, and perhaps the largest improvement: the classlookup code in the runtime library has been rewritten providing faster performance. There are some caveats to this as some things that will compile in 2.95x have a few more problems with 3.1. Also, previously compiled libraries (or programs even, perhaps) already installed on your system might have to be recompiled if you upgrade to Jaguar.

perl 5.8, mod_perl
Has anyone got 5.8 RC2 to work, I'd like to have a version of Perl, mod_perl and apache2 that works reasonably well. I don't need absolute stability, this is a development box only and I just want to play. I've tried both RC2 and bleadperl but while both complile and test successfully (except the DB test, which is a little odd as I have an up to date Berkly DB installed..) However, once installed doing almost anything that involves loading a module results in undefined symbol errors and perl crashing. I've tried compiling both statically and dynamically with much the same problems. This box has had a fair amount of other junk installed, removed, reinstalled etc over time so it may be something wierd with all the other junk if it works for other people...I'm trying to hold out for Jaguar before I wipe it and start again.

Re: puzzling results from missing she-bang
Peter, Thanks again. Now, I have it clear. /Michael Thanks for your response. I remain puzzled, however. Your response seems to imply that if I invoke print from the command line, it will be interepreted. This is not the case, it errors. Sure it will - if you are using the sh shell. Try this: zany:~/unix/avr/avr/include% sh zany% print hello; hello zany% exit zany:~/unix/avr/avr/include% (ie, type: shreturnprint hello;return) Enjoy, Peter.
Re: puzzling results from missing she-bang
Note the missing she-bang line: #!/usr/bin/perl -w Note also that I didn't tell the shell how to execute the file. So the file is set to executable, but I thought it should error. Is that line not necessary on a Mac for some reason? How is this a Mac thing? It is not functional on other unix machines I have access to (and I tried various shells, including tcsh bash). I repeated the experiment with no .pl extension, that isn't it. I suspect that it is a shell issue of some kind. /Michael Turner Not an issue. No shebang line means that 'exec(2)' will invoke your standard shell on it. 'print' is defined in some 'bash' or 'ksh' environments, or you may have such an alias or local program. Bob, Thanks for your response. I remain puzzled, however. Your response seems to imply that if I invoke print from the command line, it will be interepreted.

perl can't use sasl?
I'm trying to build cyrus imapd on Mac OS X.
It includes a number of perl based facilities- including cyradm- used to
manage acl's, mailbox creation, etc.
Cyradm needs access to sasl libs so it can authenticate. Perl doesn't
seem to be able to find them, though (they're in /usr/local/lib/sasl,
linked to /usr/lib/sasl)
When I run cyradm, I see this:

dyld: perl Undefined symbols:
_sasl_client_init
_sasl_client_new
_sasl_client_start

_sasl_decode
_sasl_dispose

during build, I see this:
