I have noticed that the new version of MacPerl, 5.0.5, can run a script on my Power Macintosh only one time using the direct run command (Shift-Cmd-R). If I try the same script again, I get no output. If I close the MacPerl output console window, it does not reappear with new output when I run the script again. MacPerl 4.1.x worked properly on the same system. Best regards, Jeff Johnson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Macintosh Services Technologist Synopsys, Inc.
