unfortunately 5.1.5 no longer outputs those warnings (about line 65535 and was it File::Copy) every time I run my scripts. I should be pleased but unfortunately that brings back a long-standing problem I've seen. Basically the output window doesn't appear until either 1) the script completes 2) some runtime error/warning message is output and then all the output which was buffered gets written It seems that it's stuck in a buffering mode until that point, eg if i leave the window open after the first run then successive script output is output during script execution. Has anyone else seen this or have ideas? Maybe there's something silly I'm doing? cheers, Danny Thomas ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
