Re: Perl 5.6.1: warnings on locale settings

2001-11-30 Thread Robert Whittle
I've 'revisited' this, and in fact my problem (i.e. Perl generating locale warnings), after following the install instruction at: http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00895.html has not gone away. It had appeared to, but that was only because the environment variables LC_ALL had been set the C. However,

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I've re-installed perl making sure I included the hint echo d_setlocale = undef hints/darwin.sh But my Perl is still checking locale (and generating warnings). Is there a stronger hint to disable this checking? Thanks Robert My instructions force

First, a caveat -- I've done extensive work with non-blocking I/O under Linux, but never under Mac OS X. However, I doubt that it's very different; most of what I learned I got from the Stevens books (Unix Network Programming, etc.), which provide working solutions for many versions of Unix.

I'm interested in using Wilfredo Sanchez's DropScript to make some of my perl scripts available to users who prefer not to use the command line. How are the names of the dropped files passed to the script? For example, when I make the following script into a 'droplet' it silently fails to

File names are passed via argv[]. I would suggest that you monitor the console log (run Console.app) while creating the droplet and see if there are any errors, and if none do the same while dropping files on the new droplet. Error reporting via the UI is nonexistant. Perhaps it's
