I tried it with MacPerl 5.1.5 and it does not run on my machine... am I doing something wrong?

First, I had to create a dummy file snartemo.res.  The program couldn't open this otherwise.

Then it fails with this in the 'console' window:
# Use of uninitialized value.
File 'Mac 208 HD:Tim's Work Disk:Downloads:snartemo.pl'; Line 174
# pp is not of type PixPatHandle.
File 'Mac 208 HD:Tim's Work Disk:Downloads:snartemo.pl'; Line 174
opening Mac 208 HD:Tim's Work Disk:Downloads:snartemo.res
got :20 20:

and the source window hilighted where I have the arrow below:

	my $rect = new Rect 0,0,$left_margin-1,$window_height;
 >	FillCRect $rect, $colors[1];
	$pattern->Color_Pattern;
