[MacPerl] Questions from starter...

[Jean-Charles BERTIN <jc.bertin@mipsys.com>]

I begun learning MacPerl since 3 months and i love it ! I'm writing
scripts to parse log files, automate tasks, send AEEvents. How was the
life without
it, i don't remember !

For now, i'm trying to use CPAN modules... I know, i know, not all the
CPAN modules are usable on MacPerl but my first try was to get the libnet
module from Graham Barr. So it should work, i thought...

First, i spent one day to figure out that i need the MacPerl src to
compile the Makefile.pl.
Two, i spent one day to know how i can get the dmake tool to eat
the generated makefile.mk. I don't have the MacPerl book, Chris, just the
MacPerl help ;-)
Finally, i tried to make the module and this is the result :

cd DeathStar:Dev:Utilities:MacPerl Ä:MacPerl_Src:perl:libnet-1.0605:
> 'DeathStar:Dev:Utilities:MacPerl Ä:MacPerl_Src:perl:libnet-1.0605:'

### ToolServer - Execution of MPW.Script terminated.

What wrong ??? I use the CodeWarrior Pro 4 MPW. May be i need to
set/export
shell variables... Need help, pliz...

I post two files for who are interested... First is the file 'Files.pm'
with constants for FindFolder added. Second is the MPW script
'Install.MPW_Perl' which correct a bug with
toolserver : 'AddMenu' crash my machine with both CodeWarrior Pro and
BBEdit. So i check
if toolserver running before.
