Well I figured out the problem with my application, but I don't
understand why this was the problem.
The solution was to change the bang line at the top of the script.
Even though I was launching the script manually with "wxPerl
Alchemist" (Alchemist is the name of the script), it was for some
reason using what was in the bang line (which was
/usr/local/bin/wxPerl -w), and relaunching itself over and over again.
If I remove the bang line, or set it to /usr/bin/perl it works OK,
but /usr/bin/perl is the default 5.10.0 version that came with Snow
Leopard, not the newly compiled version in /usr/local. I'm mystified,
but at least its working.
FYI, if I put the /usr/local/bin/wxPerl back in the bang line and try
to run the script by just executing it (i.e. ./Alchemist) it fails as
well.
Is there something up with the wxPerl binary that is causing this?
Hi Daniell,
the bang line should start with #!
so that should be
#! /usr/local/bin/wxPerl
