OS X

problem adding perl 5.10 to path in leopard

OS: OS X

The instructions in the 5.10 installation documentation for adding 5.10 permanently to path do not appear to be correct. Apparently, one must use a new method called "path_helper."

Has anyone successfully used this? I could not figure out how to make it work.

From the ActivePerl 5.10 documentation General Installation Notes":

OS X Configuration

To permanently add the directory to your PATH, add it to the .profile or .bash_profile file in the user's home directory. For example:

PATH=/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.10/bin:$PATH

bash shell

OS: OS X

Is there a system shell or bash type shell similar to the tabbed shells for Perl, PHP, etc.?

PPM not seeing active Area

OS: OS X

PPM is not allowing me to activate an area. On startup I get the warning:

"All activated install areas are read only. You cannot currently install or remove packages. Try enabling the unitialized Areas in the Preferences dialog"

Preferences shows me an empty Areas window (on 2nd try)

Any ideas ?

Thanks

env shows the line;

The lib folder gives r/w to everyone.

ls -le in the perl dir shows

Komodo hangs on Mac

OS: OS X

About 60% of the time I change projects Komodo freezes and will not respond; either after the current project closes or after I try to launch the new project. Seems to happen more often when I try to launch a project from the start Penu, but happens from File->Recent Projects, and Project->Open Project... too.

Anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions?

Printing to paper on OSX?

OS: OS X

Does anyone have any idea what sort of options there are for printer support under OSX? I have an app which uses Win32::Printer a lot which is really very nice but I can't see any similar sort of thing for OSX anywhere?

Subversion integration

I just downloaded Open Komodo for the first time to run on my OS X (leopard) machine.

I have existing subversion working directories on this box. My hope was that I could easily point Open Komodo to any of my existing subversion working directories and just start working - with a directory/file tree in the left pane - guess I am thinking along the lines of a TextMate type model.

First, the Help shows a preferences setup that I don't have - preferences don't look like what I see in help especially related to enabling SCC/Subversion functionality.

PerlApp on Mac OS X problem

OS: OS X

Hi, I'm trying to creating a free-standing GUI application on Mac OS X (10.4.11) using PerlApp (ver. 7.2), together with Tkx (Perl 5.10). Everything works fine except that a terminal window appears in front of the final application even when I choose the --gui option. The terminal window shows just:
() 1 %

Any help would be appreciated.

perlapp 7.2 hiding OS X console

OS: OS X

Hi Everyone,
I'm having trouble with PerlApp (PDK 7.2) on Mac OS X 10.4.11 running Perl 5.10. I can create an standalone app, but when I launch it, a Console window pops up in front of the application with just,

() 1 %

showing.

Of course, I've chosen the "Generate a .app (GUI executable)" option. I can close the console and the app will continue to run without trouble. It's just ugly and will confuse novice users.

I should add that I'm trying to create a GUI app using Tkx.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
