I just installed the MacPerl 510r2 application and OSA scripting component. When I attempt to compile a Perl (OSA) script, my machine crashes. What I did: * Run the Mac_Perl_510r2_appl installer * Run the Mac_Perl_510r2_osa installer * Run the InitPerlLibrary applet * Reboot * Open Script Editor * Change the OSA language (pop-up in lower left) to Perl * Type in the following script: print "Hello, World!\n"; * Click the Check Syntax button It fails on both an 8100/110 running 7.5.5 and an 8100/80 running 7.5.3. The MacPerl application itself seems to work fine. Here's a Macsbug stack crawl and disassembly. I can provide a StdLog output or other info if desired.
