if you've installed 5.6.1 in the same location, you may not need to rebuild the framework. I'd be very interested in hearing from people who are using different Perl versions, and gathering more information about what versions just work and what versions don't. 5.6.1 installed in the same

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

Most of the sample widgets I've seen, I'd rather seo them available as menubar widgets instead. Come on Chris - that's a bit like dismissing something just because there's only a poxy hello world example, and why on earth would anyone just want to print hello world? I dunno, this is slick, but
