Re: how to turn off locale
Create the file ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist containing the following content WITH UNIX LINE ENDINGS and log in again. But if you set LC_ALL to anything but C, I have found that the problem persists, so this still doesn't seem to be a full solution. You will probably want 'en_US' for LANG. Other remedies I've read were ineffectual. Equally effective is to just set it in your shell environment eg. if you're using tcsh setenv LC_ALL 'C' setenv LANG 'en_UK'

I haven't compiled a 5.8.0 libperl.a, but libperl.dylib for 5.8.0 weighs in at about 1.1MB - and that's before including any modules. Also, the download for developers would be *drastically* larger, as it would include an entire Perl distribution - 10MB+. So, what do you think? Here's (belatedly) what I think. No matter what you do you're going to have some problems. If you don't package the camelbones framework in the executable, then people will have to have CB on their machines, and thus no all-in-one executables. If you ship the framework in the built executable, then you're dependent on the system perl, and thus also dependent on the user (and apple) to have not adjusted the system perl from what you're expecting. And, if you ship perl and CB with the executable it can get somewhat large. This is complicated by the potential dependence on extensions that the application might need. If those are shipped with the executable they make it dependent on the system perl version, and if they're not they depend on the user having installed those modules. There are, as far as I can tell, two different target audiences here. The first wants to ship a fully contained app complete with perl, the second is fine with shipping an app that depends on the currently installed frameworks. (The latter being the best way if the app doesn't have any XS module dependencies) Seems that the best thing to do is be able to build or package multiple ways. Not fun, certainly, as there's a lot of extra work there, but I think it's the only way to reconcile the two. -- Dan --it's like this--- Dan Sugalski even samurai [EMAIL PROTECTED] have teddy bears and even teddy bears get drunk
pdf form letter?
Hello, I've posted this to both the macosx_perl and macosx_applications lists - sorry if you've received 2 copies. I'm looking for an application that will convert a word/appleworks/openoffice document to a human/perl editable pdf file - the pdf file created by acrobat reader is not suitable. I want to be able to create a form letter in pdf using this file as my template - I plan to stick a few to-be-interpolated perl variables in this template. I've looked at many of the PDF perl modules (I use PDF::Labels to generate mailing labels) BUT I don't want to create the template line by line (or paragraph by paragraph) - unless it's absolutely necessary. Any suggestions? Thanks, Warren
make test for Compress::Zlib failed
Hello, I just tried to upgrade Bundle::CPAN (from 1.52 to 1.63) on my 10.1.5 ibook (perl5.6.0) and got the following when running 'make test' for Compress::Zlib. Is this OK? Should I force the install or ???

Re: I's Published!
Congratulations! And thanks for sharing your experience with us... I gave it a fast read and bookmarked the page so I can reference it when I get time to do the installations. By the time I get it done I'll be ready for part two, it looks like I'll be needing that mod_ssl for a project soon ;) -- Bill Stephenson www.PerlHelp.com 1-417-546-5593 From: David Wheeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2002 22:57:34 -0800 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: I's Published!

Perl was fine, mostly (mysql was not). the jump from 10.1 to 10.2 seemed more like a major version upgrade (like Slowaris 2.6 - 7, etc). i still had the sources around, so i just recompiled everything with the latest Dev Tools. :)
