In my f irst ever use of Mac::StandardFile, I get compilation errors that I cannot account for. Can anyone enlighten me? my call: (maybe wrong, I can't get enough sense out of the compiler to fix it yet...) use Mac::StandardFile; my($file); $file=StandardGetFile(0, 0) if($file->SfGood()){ open(IN, $file) or die('Could not open file inside Perl script.'); open(OUT, '>results'); }else{die('Could not open file via Toolbox.')} and MacPerl opens dl_findfile.al in a window and says: # Useless use of private array in void context. File 'Hazel:Development:tools:MacPerl Ä:lib:auto:DynaLoader:dl_findfile.al'; Line 105 # Missing right bracket,File 'Hazel:Development:tools:MacPerl Ä:lib:auto:DynaLoader:'; Line 108 # syntax error, at EOF File 'Hazel:Development:tools:MacPerl Ä:lib:auto:DynaLoader:dl_findfile.al'; Line 108 File 'Hazel:Development:tools:MacPerl Ä:lib:DynaLoader.pm'; Line 145 # BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. File 'Hazel:Development:projects:perl:search text files:search text files.pl'; Line 24 # Scalars leaked: 4 I'm really scratching my head on this one.. Is it possible that dl_findfile.al is a mangled file? Or could such vituperative errors result from my bad coding alone?
