Hi,
Thanks all for the help on the mail question a few days back. That's
fixed. Now I've run into another problem. I'm trying to copy a file on
a local network (off a PC) to my Mac. But when the script is called
from within cron, it seems that the script doesn't run. The cron looks
like this:

From what you posted earlier, it looks like what you'll need to add:

Libraries are more of a C thing than a Perl thing, but it's useful
to know about for compiling extensions, so here goes.
What you see there -ltiff -ljpeg are options that tell the linker to

I've always thought that an odd expression.

I second this, with one caveat: If you're backing up a file server
that's used by pre-X Macs, or you're using Classic apps under X, you
should be aware that File::Copy won't preserve resource forks. In

Fair enough :-)
But still, think about it: do we need to make one of these refinements
I just stumbled into this EXACT same problem today while attempting to
get mod_perl up and running.

Perl v5.8.1-RC3
Apache 1.3.29
mod_perl 1.26

not.
Oh, I agree for the most part.

Well, the original poster had a detailed set of requirements that Fink

Yup. You're right. I missed that one. Here's what I did to simplify the

Hi Bruce,
Good question. Here are the results.
The permissions for the /Users/xx/Documents directory is:

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that your request for help with

OK... I changed the permissions. Still no change. The file is not being

One more permission to check, which is whether the original file may be
