Actually, I haven't had any problems at all, though I don't use the mode /that/ heavily. What are the problems you're experiencing? I have no problems getting the mode to launch Perl, send a script to Perl, report back errors from perl, and running Perl scripts as text filters. There's not much more to it than that :-) Are you using the new Perl mode, or are you trying to use an older one? The older ones won't work under any circumstances (there's a new interface to Alpha). Also, have you thought about asking your question on the Alpha-D list? Russell ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
