According to Johan Almqvist: > > Hi all! > > MacPerl does strange things to me... <snip> One of the things which WebStar does (or so I am told it does this) is to cache previously read programs in memory. This is to speed things up for the person trying to get the information from your web page. You may have run into this problem. Look at the options and see if the program is being cached. If so - turn that option off. As for files not showing up on the desktop right away - that is a known problem which (if I remember correctly) has nothing to do with MacPerl at all but instead is a feature of the Mac's OS. Have you tried this with Quid Pro Quo? QPQ is almost as fast as WebStar and free. Go to the (now outdated but only site name my memory keeps popping up when I think about this) www.slaphappy.com web site for more information. Try it with QPQ and see if the same thing happens. :-) ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
