could some kind person please explain to me how to tell macperl where to find the lib files? right now, it doesn't know where they are. "print @INC" provides the following information: "HardDisk:MacPerl:lib:Dev:Pseudo:" unfortunately, i don't know what the "Dev:Pseudo:" bit means on a mac. to summarise, the lib files, e.g. "clipboard.XFCN", are currently in "HardDisk:MacPerl:lib:", but macperl can't find the files. how (exactly) do i tell it where to find these files? sorry to trouble you all with such an ignorant question; hopefully, i'll later be able to contribute to the list in a more positive fashion, once i've actually got going! thanks, Stephen ============================================================================= Stephen Eastham Hat 1: School of Modern Languages IT Adviser Hat 2: Faculty IT (Learning & Teaching) Adviser University of Aberdeen, "Bonny" SCOTLAND Tel: (UK) 01224 272150 Fax: (UK) 01224 272562 s.m.eastham@abdn.ac.uk ============================================================================= "Many things went on at Unseen University and, regrettably, teaching had to be one of them.
