[MacPerl] How to get MacPerl to find a file

[Tom Fetherston <ranch1@earthlink.net>]

Hi all,

I'm attempt to use perl in a way I haven't before, running a multi-file
script. This is not something I wrote but one that was written to be
cross-platform (runs on unix and dos). This 'system of scripts', has to do
with SDF, a 'one doc to many formats' document system.

David Schooley kindly extended the file 'name.pl' that deals with file
naming conventions so it covers mac files. he has been able to run sdf
under the MPW perl tool (sdf is the 'top script).

I'm trying to do the same thing using MacPerl (from alpha).

runing the sdf file with arguments;
 -2html 'T1:sdf2b12:samples:simple:mydoc.sdf'

starts things going but then I get an error:
<AppleEvent> fatal: initialisation file 'sdf' not found
# Attempt to free unreferenced scalar.

So many files are involved, I'm at a lose as to finding the line that
resulted in generating this.

Any suggestions on how to track this down? It's too far in the program to
just go single stepping to find it, and I haven't a clue as to where to set
a breakpoint.

Tom
