On my PowerBook, :site_perl:auto:Storable:thaw.al has "=cut\n1;" at the end. The =cut there makes it so the 1; is never seen, so the .al file does not return true ... so for some reason, MacPerl dies instead of complaining. I fixed AutoSplit again. Until then, you should fix your .al files manually, I suppose. The only file I found to do this was thaw.al, which also makes sense considering: * this behavior only appeared on reading the files, not writing them * this behavior did not appear until I "fixed" a bug in AutoSplit (the "fix" being incomplete) The current AutoSplit in perl5.005 is fixed, in case you were wondering. The problem was that a /^=\w/ .. /^=cut/ range was used, which would stay true if it matched the first part until it matched the second part, even on multiple iterations over multiple modules. That was the problem ... Storable was never split because one of the previous modules never finished with a =cut to make the expression false. Anyway, I fixed that, but then I should have also had it skip the =cut part, and I didn't, I instead let that print. So, to make a long story short: to use Mac::Glue with Storable in my recent release, remove the =cut from :site_perl:auto:Storable:thaw.al, and you should be set on PPC. Next release will have that fixed (and also require a double-install, as this release did). As for CFM68K, I have no idea what to do to make it work. Perhaps I can find out, or perhaps someone else (Arved, Matthias) can figure it out. -- Chris Nandor mailto:pudge@pobox.com http://pudge.net/ %PGPKey = ('B76E72AD', [1024, '0824090B CE73CA10 1FF77F13 8180B6B6']) ==== Want to unsubscribe from this list? ==== Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to macperl-modules-request@macperl.org
