Subject: Feedback on using with OS 10.4.5 (need to tweak bin/perlpad)
Hi Ben, Some feedback .. managed to get this running on OS 10.4.5 ;-). 1) Looks like on OS X you need to launch with wxperl instead of perl (otherwise the app loads with a blank window): http://search.cpan.org/~mbarbon/Wx-0.27/docs/ INSTALL.pod#Using_wxPerl_on_Mac_OS_X Not sure how you best fudge that (install a different version of perlpad launcher?) 2) The #! path in perlpad is hardcoded .. sort of relates to comment #1, but would put in the correct path to perl here in case it's not installed in /usr/bin/ (or use env to select the default perl). eg: #!/usr/bin/env perl 3) fwiw, I would note there is an existing program called PerlPad for OS X: http://perl-pad.sourceforge.net/ Cheers, Stephen

Perhaps. I will look into doing this maybe by having two launcher scripts in the distrobution bin/perlpad and bin.osx/perlpad Show quoted text

But not every platform with perl has the env utility. Show quoted text

Perhaps I should be renaming bin/perlpad. But to what I am not sure. pedit? Thanks, Ben Marsh
