I get the above message when running any XUL::Gui code at all, even this: use XUL::Gui; display Label 'hello, world!'; Details: * XUL-Gui-0.36 * perl, v5.10.1 (*) built for darwin-2level (Mac OS X Intel) * full output: XUL::Gui> version 0.36 XUL::Gui> server started: http://localhost:8888 XUL::Gui> launching firefox 30:39: syntax error: A “"” can’t go after this identifier. (-2740) it doesn't stop at that point, it keeps running but nothing appears in Firefox.

Thanks for sending in this bug report. It looks like a bootstrapping issue, you can try entering "http://localhost:8888/" into the url bar of firefox after starting the perl script. To diagnose this further, please run 'display debug => 3, Label "hello, world!";' and reply with the messages generated. There is also a new version of XUL::Gui out (0.40) which contains a number of bug fixes and feature improvements pertaining to bootstrapping, so that may fix the problem. Could you test under that version as well? Thanks, Eric Strom On Tue Feb 16 01:53:32 2010, chapel.ambrose@gmail.com wrote: Show quoted text

I have upgraded and the example scripts now work perfectly, thank you. NB, I needed to upgrade File::Temp (to 0.22) because I was getting an error Can't locate object method "newdir" via package "File::Temp" but apart from that, no problems.
