[MacPerl] Hello again and a strange thing

[Mark & Kris Manning <markem@flash.net>]

I have been extremely busy and it looks like it will get even busier
before I leave for vacation (April).  So if anyone was wondering if I'd
fallen off of the face of the earth - I did.  :-)

Anyway, I'm playing around with things here at the house and came across
this problem.  This program I am writing causes MacPerl to die.  So I
thought I'd run MacPerl via the debugger.  I get a message saying
MacPerl can not find perl5db.pl.  The debugger I assume.

"Ok," I said to myself, "I'll just reload MacPerl from the CD."  So I
did - same error.  So I looked through my library references - they were
all pointing to the correct location.  >I< could see/find the perl5db.pl
file.  But MacPerl couldn't.  I tried puttting in a line of code to add
in the path to the @INC array - but MacPerl died before it even got to
that point.  Any ideas?

Program:

#!perl
#
#	The next line gets the incoming web page information.
#	It works like CGI but is a part of my own home brewed
#	software which has not changed radically in over six months
#	and which works well in my other programs.
#
	$theInfo = &getInfo();
	@newInfo = split( /&/, $theInfo );
	for( @newInfo ){
		if( /whoami/i ){
			s/^.*=//;
			$whoami = &generic::stripAll( $_ );
			}

		if( /^card_/i ){
			@theLine = split( /\=/ );
			@theNumber = split( /\_/, $theLine[0] );
			@theCards[$theNumber[1]] = $theLine[1];
			}
		}

	open( THEFILE, ">output.dat" ) || die $!;
	for( @theCards ){
		print THEFILE "$_\n";
		}

	close( THEFILE );
	exit( 0 );
#
#	When MacPerl reaches this statement, it closes
#	itself unlike other times when MacPerl remains
#	active.
