Developer Tools iTunes

2004-02-10 Thread wren argetlahm
I'm a newbie to Perl on *nix and am in the process of converting from MacPerl to OSX and I've just recently downloaded the developer tools for OSX10.2 because I was under the impression that they're necessary to really use Perl on OSX (i.e. to use CPAN, Camel Bones, etc). But installing the

PHP to perl - recursion limitation?

2004-02-10 Thread kynan
Hi all, I'm converting a PHP script to perl so I can run it on the command line in Panther. The following sub routine is a cut down example of what one I'm using. It gets called once, passing the name of a directory. It is meant to recursively call itself for each directory it finds, so it

Kynan- You should consider using the perl module File::Find to solve this problem. See: http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.3/lib/File/Find.pm It's a built-in module, so there's nothing to install. Just a few lines of code and you're done. -Bill Hi all, I'm converting a PHP script

Thanks everyone for the information, especially Chris Devers for the suggestions on how to crop things out. I just realized that the *.dmg file for the dev tools is on my startup drive, so if I move that to another drive it should free up enough space if I don't install the documentation. ~wren

Developer Tools Hijinks

2004-02-10 Thread wren argetlahm
Installing the dev tools has done horrible things to my computer. The drive says it has 80MB or so left, but most every program I run complains about the disk being full and won't run; including trying to burn CDs to back things up before repartitioning it all. Is there any way to uninstall the
